Deadline

There's a storm that is forming

Getting stronger all of the time

There's a forest burning day and night

There's a glacier that's melting

And islands of plastic collide

There's a brand new sickness taking lives

We're dying here

No time to fight its become crystal clear

That we must act before it's too late

The deadline's today

There's a nation divided

and we're all taking a side

no more civil discourse just party lines

There's a lack of compassion

And disregard for all these black lives

A constant fight for basic human rights

We're dying here

No more debate it's abundantly clear

That we must act before it's too late

The deadline's today

In the end will we mend what we've broken

Or keep this record skipping for all time

And defend all the lies that are spoken

We'll keep on playing tapes that we can't rewind

Cuz the end is near for us

We've turned this shine to rust

Where once was water there's dust

The headline will say

If we don't start today

We're dying here

No time to fight its become crystal clear

That we must act before it's too late

We're dying here

No more debate its abundantly clear

That we must fundamentally change

And the deadline's today
