I just watched part of Greta Thunberg's speech at the UN.  It made me remember that I never posted these lyrics.  It's not a great song, but it's an important message.

Just One Home

How can you not feel the rising tide
How can you not see with your own eyes
Adding heat adds chaos to the skies
Can we burn the past and still survive

Ignorance and greed rule the day
Those who hold the billions have the say
Education has been thrown away
Sacrifice tomorrow for today

CHORUS
We have one chance to get this right
We can't afford to roll the dice
We have no other place to go
Just one planet Just one home

Plastic oceans lapping on our shores
How long 'til they seep under the door
Driven by our need for more and more
Land of plenty populous of poor

CHORUS

Don't deny responsibility
For the changes you refuse to see
Loss of habitat loss of species
Leaving nothing but futility

SOLO

Let the local sources fill your needs
Waste and wind and sun for energy
Put the fossil fuels back in their hole
Restore the balance of our only home

CHORUS

Missed this one so taking the chance to comment now. Very nice work guys. Love the raunchy feel of the track, great guitar work and superb vox. Lyrics are very, very timely.

Great song! Important message. Very nice guitar-playing and vocals. Ready for the big stages.
