This is a love song to the earth
You're no ordinary world
A diamond in the universe
Heaven's poetry to us
Keep it safe, keep it safe, keep it safe
How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?
Wer dachte, die Klimakatastrophe käme sachte sachte
Lag falsch. Bald gehts ans Eingemachte
Da gibts nichts groß zu verstehn, das kann jeder selber im Netz nachsehn
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the super dome. It's been the ruin for many a poor boy
...
Drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief, how long now
Until a weather change condemns belief, how long now
...
He’s a real carbon man
Sitting in his carbon land
Making all his carbon plans for nobody
Gebt uns ruhig die Schuld,
den Rest könnt ihr behalten.
Und falls es euch beruhigt,
es trifft auf keinen Fall die Falschen.
...
alle Fenster weit offen
und die Heizung ganz oben
und mach ich auf betroffen
dann ist das meistens gelogen.
Oh the earth is calling out,
I wanna learn what it´s all about,
But everything I read global warming going green
I don´t know what all this means but it seems to be saying
Wake up America we´re all in this together
Es ist nicht deine Schuld, dass die Welt ist, wie sie ist.
Es wär nur deine Schuld, wenn sie so bleibt.
What about the bleeding Earth
- What about us
Can’t we feel its wounds
- What about us
What about nature’s worth
- ooo, ooo
It’s our planet’s womb
- What about us
Ich will mehr Fast-Food fressen,
wer braucht schon Regenwald.
...
Von wegen Öl geht aus,
die lügen doch die Ölstaaten!
Es gibt genug,
wenn sogar Enten schon im Öl baden.
Die Erde füllt sich weiter
und es geht immer schneller.
Halb so wild, zum Glück ham wir'ne zweite Welt im Keller.
We need clean Energy.
Oh America, wee need clean Energy.
Quand il sera grand
et me demandra
"Pourquoi y a plus de poissons dans la mer?"
Je vais dire quoi?
Que je savais pas!
Ou que j'en avais rien à faire!
...
Vas-y consomme! Consomme.
Consume, consume!
Tronçonne, tronçonne!
Allume, allume!
Mais que fais-tu si notre futur
s'retrouve entre le marteau et l'enclume.
Wenn er mal gross ist und mich fragt:
"Warum gibt es keine Fische mehr im Meer?"
Was antworte ich dann?
Dass ich es nicht wusste?
Oder dass es mir egal war?
...
Mach schon, verbrauche, verbrauche!
Vernichte, vernichte!
Holz den Wald ab, holz den Wald ab!
Zünd ihn an, zünd ihn an!
Aber was machst du, wenn unsere Zukunft
zwischen Hammer und Amboss gerät?
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones to make a brighter day
Yoh, let's talk about the Earth, really talk about survival
...
It's a change in the climate, a change in the weather
It's heating up now but it's not for the better.
...
APDAPT ... to a new situation..
INNOVATE... use your imagination..
MITIGATE... we've got to try...
To stop gloabal warming
We've got to aim high
We can light up the planet like a Christmas tree.
They say that things are getting hot but, hey, we’ve got A.C.
This is our world but they destroy it they'll watch it burn in hell
...
Watch the slip of time this our world it's not yours it's not mine
Your attention please.
Thank you for choosing earth as your planetary vehicle.
We hope you enjoy the many wonderful features of this planet as you hurtle through the cosmos.
Please note however
that in the event of continued inaction in the face of global warming
your seat cushion can be used as floatation device.
Also please take a moment to locate this planet's emergency exits.
As you can see -
there aren't any.
Come on raise your hand!
I say come on, come on, let's seal the deal!
Sustainability's gone, lost in effective approach.
...
Pick up what's left of reason, step over the wall
and kill the biosphere, still unaware of the evident impact that's poisoning the air.
When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow
When our summers grow longer and winters won't snow
This drought bleeds on now we're dancing for rain
We drink the air but it's still not the same
These worlds collide but the distance remains
Break the bough and strip all of it.
Fell this forest, make a profit!
Fusion of the ancient ways
With modern tech support
Bringing atmospheric change
Wildlife deteriorating.
Cars polluting / All our air
Smog fills / Our lungs to hell
Politicians / Don't really care
How we all dance with this fire 'cause it's all that we know
And as the spotlight turns toward us, we all try our best to show
We are lost we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak
We are the heirs, we are the true heirs, to all the world
Eure Treffen effektiv, wie Konferenzen übers Klima.
Die Wetterkatastrophe war ja absehbar.
Bei uns herrscht jetzt ein Klima wie in Afrika.
...
Die Ärzte stellen am Laufband Atteste aus.
Die Oma nebenan kriegt 'n Hitzeschlag.
Früher war i immer gern a Riese gwesen im brasilianischen Urwald -
und ned a so a mickrige deutsche Eiche.
Aber heitztog holzns ja an Urwald auch schon ab.
Für McDonald´s zum Beispiel.
Wenn ihr den letzten Baum zerstört,
Dem letzten Fluß die Klarheit nehmt,
Den letzten Wilden habt bekehrt,
Der letzte Vogel nicht mehr singt,
Gestern hamnse den Wald gefegt
Und die Wege asphaltiert
Die Wiesen kurz mal laubgesaugt
Die Eichhörnchen dressiert
Den See haben sie zugeschütten
Den Sumpf hamse trockengelegt
Die Vögel endlich weggejagt
Und Lautsprecher verlegt
Beautiful butterfly, out on a limb
On a platform way up high
In the branches of that redwood tree
That reaches to the sky.
Well, she named the tall tree Luna
And she gave a solumn oath
That she'd never touch the ground
Till she saved the ancient growth.
Sun Green started makin' waves
On the day that Grandpa died
Speakin' out against anything
Unjust or packed with lies
She chained herself to a statue of an eagle
In the lobby of Power Co.
Woke up this morning to the news
that the big men were fighting
over all we've got to lose.
But something there was missing from their talk.
It was soemthing that could
change us all.
Deforestation scars the earth.
The rainforests burn. Countless animals die.
We must regain control or there will be nothing left to save.
The harmony of nature twisted into dischordance.
When all the wonders of the world are gone, razed and destroyed
There will be no time to ask why it all came to this
We can almost hear the glaciers
Breaking day and night
Still we don't do a damn thing and I just can't see why?
By polluting our rivers, we poison our blood.
By devastating our forest, we slaughter our souls.
The signals can't be ignored.
The time to change is long overdue.
Still we don't do a damn thing and I just can't see why?
Climates change, oceans vaporize
Woods becomes deserts; no vegetation
Species of animals exterminated
The earth makes its last rotation
Bought a Prius to save on Gas
But I fly every weekend in first class
I'm going green.
You might not think it matters now
But what if you are wrong
Millions of trees have to die.
...
I want to know
Where We Going To Go
They took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em
Now I am throwing off the carelessness of youth
To listen to an unconvenient truth.
I see trees of green,
red roses too
I see them bloom
for me and you.
And I think to myself
what a wonderful world.
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride it where I like.
Oh mercy mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no no
Oil wasted on the ocaens and our seas
Wir wurden versucht und haben nicht widerstanden.
Unsere Sünden und Fehler wurden schlicht übergangen.
Wir kannten sie lange.
Doch haben wir niemals gehandelt.
Und jetzt stehen wir bange vor dem Klimawandel.
Komm schon, das Essen wird kalt.
Heute gibt es Regenwald.
Watch the asphalt melt away
Have a global warming day
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
How can we stand aside
And watch the rape of the world
But now we have a different threat, a warming war to wage
we can no more deny, we’re in the greenhouse age
Tomorrow may be too late
Now’s the time that you must be aware
Nature’s disappearing
Polluted death is coming, do you care?
Die Welt wird heißer, das merkt das Kind
Durchs Verbrennen, das ist bewiesen,
das stimmt, das stimmt.
Überall,
wo wir schaun,
zu viel Kohle, zu viel braun.
