Change Is Coming - Skyclad

After years of reckless living, for a century or more

With a few who lived the good life, being paid by the poor

Now they’re fiddling while the forest bur, soaring through the poisoned skies

Surfing in the plastic seas, we’re adding our voices to the rising

Chorus of concern, striking chords of alarm

The drums of discontent, keep banging on and on

It’s still the same old story, a resources grab and go

A fight for territory, to maintain the status quo

Now they say that a change is coming, while we’re basking in the sun

And the tmperature is rising, so there’s not much getting done

Yes they say that change is coming, while we look the other way

The rest of our life is hurting, in a world in disarray

Keep checking the vital signs, of the sea and land and air

But all you need is eyes, cos it’s happening everywhere

Well the animals could be marched into the creationist’s mobile zoo

As if this could protect them all, as if this could prevent the fall

Of man from his position as custodian of Earth

Will our watch be remembered for anything of worth?

As we look to new horizons, new worlds to colonise

Will we learn the lessons or dismiss it all as lies?

Now they say that change is coming and it’s not some fantasy

Cos the evidence is mounting and it’s there for all to see

Yes they say that change is coming and it’s not conspiracy

No it’s not just «snake oil science» but a new harsh reality

They say that a change is coming, while we’re basking in the sun

And the temperature is rising, so there’s not much getting done

Yes they say that change is coming, while we look the other way

The rest of our life is hurting, in a world in disarray

Yes, they say that a change is coming

Yes, they say that a change is coming
