Emergency on Planet Earth
Urgent Call for Change: Emergency on Our Planet
Lyrics
The kids need education,
The need for education among young people is emphasized.
And the streets are never clean,
The streets are consistently dirty, possibly symbolizing societal neglect or decay.
I've seen, a certain disposition, prevailing in the wind,
An observed attitude or mindset is present in the air.
Sweet change, if anybody's listening?
Questioning if positive change will occur and if anyone is paying attention.
Emergency on planet earth.
Highlighting a critical situation on Earth that demands immediate attention.
Is that life that I am witnessing,
Questioning whether what is being witnessed is genuine life or merely another futile existence.
Or just another wasted birth.
Raising the possibility of life being wasted or not valued.
Now, we got emergency
Declaration of an emergency on Earth.
Oh, we got emergency on planet Earth
Reiteration of the urgent situation on the planet.
Now, we got emergency
Stressing the existence of a critical emergency.
Oh, we got emergency on planet Earth
Repeating the urgency of the emergency on Earth.
Think we're standing for injustice,
Expressing a stand against injustice.
White gets two and black gets five years,
Highlighting disparities in the legal system, where the punishment for whites and blacks differs.
Took me quite a while to suss this,
Realization of the unequal situation after some time of understanding (sussing).
But now I know my head is cleared
Clearing one's mind and gaining understanding of the situation.
And a little boy in hungry land, is just a picture in the news,
Describing a hungry child in a distant land as just a distant image in the news.
Won't see him in that tv advertising, 'cause it might put you off your food
Suggesting that such images are not shown in advertising to avoid discomfort.
Now, we got emergency
Reiteration of the planetary emergency.
Oh, we got emergency on planet Earth
Restating the critical situation on Earth.
Now, we got emergency
Reemphasizing the existence of an urgent emergency.
Oh, we got emergency on planet Earth
Repeating the declaration of a critical emergency on the planet.
