about

“At places like Davos, people like to tell success stories. But their financial success has come with an unthinkable price tag. And on climate change, we have to acknowledge we have failed. All political movements in their present form have done so, and the media has failed to create broad public awareness …
According to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), we are less than 12 years away from not being able to undo our mistakes … Adults keep saying: “We owe it to the young people to give them hope.” But I don’t want your hope. I don’t want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. And then I want you to act … I want you to act as you would in a crisis. I want you to act as if our house is on fire. Because it is!”

—Greta Thunberg, excerpted from a speech to Davos World Economic Forum, January 2019

lyrics

STANDING ON A CHAIR, A PRECARIOUS CHAIR
WE’RE AT THE END OF A VERY SHORT ROPE
WE DON’T WANT YOUR THOUGHTS, OR YOUR PRAYERS, OR YOUR HOPES
WE WANT YOU TO ACT LIKE THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE

COS IT IS … COS IT IS …
HELP! HELP! THE WORLD IS ON FIRE
COS IT IS … COS IT IS …
HELP! HELP! THE WORLD IS ON FIRE

AND WE NEED A WORLD OF HELPERS
TO HELP US DOWN FROM HERE

Exceptional punk music! I love sloppy punk, but this manages to be clean without without losing any energy at all (maybe even getting more of it in the process!). Can't recommend it enough and show them to everyone I know zacharypinkham
