No Oil

(to the tune of Royals - Lorde)

I'd never eat a fish dragged in a net

I cut down on the dairy and the beef cause of methane

And yet we’re proud of our address

On this spaceship earth, we learn from Bucky

But all the news is like

Koch brothers, Donald Trump

Tripping in the boardroom

Cellophane, Cell phones

Trashing up the landfills

We don't care, we're driving Teslas in our dreams.

But everybody's like

Frackin’ Drillin Offshore oil rigs

Jet planes, Poachers

Lions on a gold leash. We don't care,

We aren't caught up in your love affair

We don't need no oil

It don't run in our blood!

That kind of muck just ain't for us, we're gettin’ on a different bus

Let me get that solar

And bring back the honey bees

And baby we’ll rule, we’ll rule, we’ll rule, we’ll rule

Since we live sustainably

My friends and I we've cracked the code

Re-framing scare-city to a-bun-dance

And everyone who knows us knows

That we think in systems, to create win-wins

And everybody’s like

Drawdown Carbon

Regenerate soil

Accelerate markets

Empowering community

We do care, revolution’s in the air

So everybody’s like

Maker Culture

Writing new narratives

Riding Bikes to a Beautiful future

We do care, revolution’s in the air

We don't need no oil

It don't run in our blood

That kind of muck just ain't for us, we're gettin’ on a different bus

Let me get that solar

And bring back the honey bees

And baby we’ll rule, we’ll rule, we’ll rule, we’ll rule

Since we live sustainably

ooh ooh oh ooh

We're better than we've ever dreamed

And we’re in love with being green

ooh ooh oh ooh

Life is better when you care

There’s revolution in the air

We don't need no oil

It don't run in hour blood

That kind of muck just ain't for us, we're gettin’ on a different bus

Let me get that solar

And bring back the honey bees

And baby we’ll rule, we’ll rule, we’ll rule, we’ll rule

Since we live sustainably

Live sustainably.

Carbon

(to the tune of Price Tag - Jesse J)

Alright everybody – Business Leaders – Representatives 

All y’all. You ready!?

Seems like everybody loves blue skies

So why leave pollution unpriced?

If we don’t act now

Our kids pay the bill

Planet’s gettin hot, gotta -- chill 

Come on everybody get serious

As the crisis gets more dangerous

The Earth will survive

But for us to be fine

We don’t have a whole lotta time

Ain’t about moves to the Left

Ain’t about moves to the Right

Can you feel it?

We gotta set a carbon price 

It’s all about the money money money

It’s how we move our money money money

We gotta get the world back on track

Carbon needs a price tag

It’s all about the cha-ching- cha-ching

Yeah it’s time to th-think- th-think

Gotta get the world back on track

Carbon needs a price tag

Now let me take you back in time

When Paris made the world unite

And we all decided 

Together to right it 

Temperature and ocean rise

We can still avoid a total mess

We gotta stop — emittin’ heat-trapping gas

Can we all speed up and move right now

Guarantee everything’ll be fine

Ain’t about moves to the Left

Ain’t about moves to the Right

Can you feel it?

Gotta set a carbon price

It’s all about the money money money

It’s how we move our money money money

Carbon need a price tag

Well, bout that price tag

It’s future cash back

For you and your kids

We carbon backtrack

And you can, get rid of gas

Leave us electric cars

Cause what we get is cleaner air and lots of jobs

And guess what, in 30 years don’t wanna colonize Mars

We’re making progress across these undefeatable odds

It’s like this man, you can’t put a price on our lives

We’re fighting for the ecosystems day and night

So we ain't gonna wait for yo permission

We’ll elect leaders who will regulate emissions –uh huh

So we gonna keep everyone moving their feet

Turn down atmospheric heat – and then everybody sing

It’s all about the money money money

It’s how we move our money money money

We Gotta get the world back on track

The World

Broken glass windows

Barbed wire fences

Tell you that you don’t belong 

Desert wind blowing

Dusty rose growing 

A sunrise to guide you along

The world is as beautiful as you wanna make it (X2)

Landscapes and mudslides

Caught in the landmines

Our roots are tangled in war

The young organizing

The feminine rising

Singing at history’s door

The world is as beautiful as you wanna make it (X2)

It’s coming more clear now

I don’t care for fear now

Anger is making me strong

The air we are breathing

The blood we are bleeding

The heart is beating a song

The world is as beautiful as you wanna make it (X2)

Let’s put an end to this game of world domination

Colonization. Borders and nations

Ain’t got the time. No I got no more patience

Don’t bury the truth of ancient vibrations

We’ll melt all your bullets

We’ll sit in the shade

We’ll tend to the earthworms

And dance every day

We’ll speak truth to power and privileged positions

We roll up our sleeves and we march and we listen

The world is as beautiful as you wanna make it (X4)

When it’s cold in the dark

Don’t throw in the cards 

I’m playing my part 

I’m playing my part 

When the waves crash down 

Making centuries of sound

And the midnight moon

Oh she kisses the sand

She Knows

Oh she knows (X2)

She feels it deep within her bones

She knew it long before she was ever born

She knows (X3)

Oh she sees (X2)

She sees right through the disguise

She can see it clearly even with closed eyes

She sees (X3)

Oh she heals (X2)

Her touch, and all is revealed

She can heal the wounds and fear from lifetimes long ago

She heals (X3)

Oh she cries (X2)

Her tears can turn the ocean’s tide

There’s no one to listen cuz its easier to hide

She cries (X3)

Oh she hears (X2)

She hears what you say without words

She’s heard it for centuries, listen it’s her turn

She hears (X3)

Oh we know (X2)

We feel it deep within our bones

Listen to our story so that we can come on home

We know (X3)

Listen to our stories

We know (X3)

Yeah, We know, We know, We know

Move Me

Move me beyond mountains

sow the seeds  of whispered life

Breaking through graveled history

To the world we know is right

Move me Mother Move me 

Teach my heart to open wide

Move me Mother Move me 

So we sing, so we’re alive

When our fields  are lying fallow

And the seeds  of discontent

Have been planted in our minds

What we see is what we get

So we stand and ask forgiveness

From the mother of us all

For trespassing on the land

Say a prayer before the fall

Move me Mother Move me 

Teach my heart to open wide

Move me Mother Move me 

So we sing, so we’re alive

Oceans deep and heavens high

We don’t have another choice

Hands in dirt we love this planet

Hand in hand, we are one voice

Move me Mother Move me 

Teach my heart to open wide

Move me Mother Move me 

So we sing, so we’re alive

Fire

There’s a fire burning in my heart (X3)

And 17 fires all over this land

Don’t burn me down

Let me live, let me live

Let me love

Let me grow again

Don’t burn me down

Let me live, let me live 

Let me love

Let me grow again

Dismantling the EPA

Poisoning the waterways

As fires burn your lies do too 

I know where to find the truth

You said you set all people free

Your tired your poor, came to lady liberty

The hotter I get the farther you fall

Freedom was never for all

Don’t burn me down

Let me live, let me live

Let me love

Let me grow again

Don’t burn me down

Let me live, let me live

Let me love

Let me grow again

Clear away the underbrush

Clear away the inner rush

Making way for something new

Holding tight we will renew

The heat will open and release

Regenerating seeds of peace

I’ll grow my wildflowers again

Life blood flowing through my river veins

So don’t burn me down 

Let me live, let me live

Let me love

Let me grow again 

Don’t burn me down 

Let me live, let me live

Let me love

Let me grow again 

Mining conflict from my land

There’s blood upon your hands 

If we recreate together

Puttin’ others at the center

And If fire purifies

Makes way for creation

The devil prays to god

In a silent conversation

Part 1:  There’s a fire (repeat)

Part 2: Burning in [(repeat)

Part 3: My heart (repeat)

Part 4: Don’t burn (repeat)

Part 5: Me down (repeat)

Part 6: There’s a fire burning in my heart. Can’t burn me down won’t burn me down. (X3)

And 17 fires all over this land 

let me grow again

Water

(based on You Don’t Miss Your Water Til Your Well Runs Dry - Otis Redding)

In the beginning


You flowed to me
 

I was too blind


I could not see 

But now that you left me


Oh mother, how I cry, how I cry, how I cry


You don't miss your water

'Til your well run dry

I kept on wasting you 


Sad and blue,


You were my river


My ground water too 

But now that you left me


Four years in a row, no rain, how I cried


You don't miss your water


'Til your well run dry

I sit here and wonder

How this could be, 


I never thought, 


You'd ever leave me    

But now that you left me


Oh mother, how I cry, how I cry, how I cry


You don't miss your water

'Til your well run dry

(X3)
