The Herd - Emergency lyrics

The revolution will be industrial! Well, charged like the Battle of Beersheba and Istabulat And didn't you know it's all combustible We got born again greens just because its tax deductable I'm optimistic but the dots need to be joined And now you lift a finger in response but just to point That's the quickest way to disappoint, Maybe you missed the point This is way bigger than the list have joined We can spruik credentials. No matter how inconsequential We treat it like essential. I could sacrifice a non-essential Call myself environmental! Anything outside of this is accidental (New Orleans) Yasi! Slogans are their mantra We can't look to government and industry for answers They only got a golden hand shake and a plan to abandon the ship way before we deal with the cancer This is an emergency! This is an emergency! This is an emergency! Calmly, you told me you had a plan Even Arnie in the 90's had a car that ran electric They held back the tech. sh**! Now its gotten hectic They can't deflect it, Not like its unexpected Aussie kids dying at the tyrants directive In the dust of the cradle of civilisation The middle east was once well vegetated Now, check out Australia, a fragile equation Even the Anglican Church says that a terrorist invasion is not the real issue If your waiting for an end to floods and drought; here's a tissue The Nats will dismiss you and pray for a solution Shame, there is no neighbour to blame for the pollution At least there is absolution and carbon credits It begins and ends at home if we let it A letter to your MP, sign the petition We're waiting on you man, to make the hard decisions This is an emergency! This is an emergency! This is an emergency! Calmly, you told me you had a plan It was the dumbest thing we could have known We take and take 'til there was no more Justify the human breed. We are blinded by our wants and needs So the seas will swirl, disease be rife, the soil became dust and dust become life as we know it And you denied it, And yet you told me you had a plan And you told me you had a plan This is an emergency! And you told me you had a plan Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. And you told me you had a plan This is an emergency! This is an emergency! This is an emergency! And you told me you had a plan This is an emergency! Ashes to ashes and dust to dust This is an emergency! This is an emergency! And you told me you had a plan You told me!
