The air is getting thicker

As the slaughterhouses hum

Stockholders count their profits
   BB    A augmentedA    E MajorE BB A augmentedA
While blocking out the sun

All the oceans brown with foam

The polar ice is melting

Watch forests as they fall

Why are the children always the bravest?

Stealing their dreams one day at a time
 A minorAm        A minorAm
A augmentedA future betrayal denying the science

Who can we trust to make the right choices?

Maintain status quo, the House and the Senate
A minorAm        A minorAm
We leave behind a dead, dying planet
