The Heat Is On

Hello my fellow Earthlings I hope you're feeling fine I'd like your full attention To say what's on my mind I just want this understood No matter what it takes Our clock is ticking down While we make the same mistakes The warning bells are ringing But still we've missed the calling The temperature is rising While humanity is falling We've been given everything To ensure complete success A planet rich with beauty But we've really made a mess We keep burning coal and oil And it's floating in the air The signs are all around us But nobody seems to care The companies that sell it Are just out to make a buck And even when they spill it Won't help to clear the muck If we want a better future For all our sons and daughters Let's stop the air pollution And poisoning our waters Even though the wounds are deep There's still time to mend our scars We have to work together Or we'll end up just like Mars
