Lyrics

Up with trees down with capitalism Humanity look in the mirror What do you see? Are you happy? With the history? Or where the future will be? If we keep ourselves chained to the direction of the power hungry What's your direction? Is it possible to avoid intersection with environmental devastation? Is this humanities fate? Is this a karmic trait? Asking questions What's the underlying message? Planet earth is changing Floods fires storms rain raging Humans neighbors society all caged in Mental frames and our brothers in containment Assimilation and annihilation on the level of Globalization Even the United Nations says we got 12 years to limit climate degradation Keep rising temperatures at a maximum of 1.5 degrees before 2030 Our leaders have a duty to take action But they don't cuz they got self-interest stuck in their brain So it's up to us the people to make a change And rearrange the frame and stop playing their game Fuck the strongman survival of the fittest politics We taking action Yeah we taking action Up with trees down with capitalism That's the message and the lesson We all connected Even though we neglect it even though we neglect it Mother earth is crying But we numb to the pain so we do nothing, so we do nothing Damn so reluctant I'm just trying to start a movement, that connects all movements For positive change for positive change Alright look Capitalism's the enemy of nature It's destroying our ability to live in the future Nurture bad ego individually Expenditure of freedom collectively Always competing socially economically Without regard for our habitat globally But wait, This economic system is a product Of something deeply rooted in our culture relations on this earth That we have nurtured since 3000BC Based on hierarchy Giving birth To the reality we see The collective human dream Capitalism is the largest religious empire that history has ever seen A line of lineage from the first emperor Sargon waging bloody wars in the Middle East Mesopotamia still under siege Now by empires from overseas Capitalist positivist philosophy Reducing the world to a material physical perspective Consume everything The human eye can perceive Up with trees down with capitalism That's the message and the lesson We all connected Even though we neglect it, even though we neglect it Mother earth is crying But we numb to the pain so we do nothing, so we do nothing Damn so reluctant I'm just trying to start a movement, that connects all movements For positive change for positive change And we saying! No more flint economics No more standing rock economics No more Reaganomics No more Iraq Afghanistan and Libya imperialisms No more Venezuela propagandas No more no more Neoliberalism No more anti-democracy anti-economy capitalism Grito Libertad Liberating Gaia The goddess of Mother Earth For all its infinite worth Would mean liberating ourselves We planting literal and metaphorical seeds From NYC across the Pacific and Atlantic sea The movement's color is green An international social movement to change what we see From individualistic greed To collaborative community We are awake because our great grandchildren won't let us sleep We the Indigo children Be aligning with the elder indigenous Rebelling against extinctions For permanent global revolution evolution and liberation Up with trees down with capitalism That's the message and the lesson We all connected Even though we neglect it, even though we neglect it Mother earth is crying But we numb to the pain so we do nothing, so we do nothing Damn so reluctant I'm just trying to start a movement, that connects all movements For positive change for positive change
