Lyrics
Just Stop Oil
So you think you know what's going on?
Drilling oil is death to planet song.
Think the politicians respect life?
Carve up lungs with the sharpest knife.
Just stop oil – reset the state.
Just stop oil – evil at the gate.
Just stop oil - govern with a soul.
Better act now - or lose control.
Dancing on your grave, issue licence.
Black poison greed, dirty connivance.
Money men and women serve their writ,
Buying politicians - illegal hit.
Just stop oil – reset the state.
Just stop oil - evil at the gate.
Just stop oil - govern with a soul.
(we) Better act now - or lose control.
Blindly they’re still signing contracts,
Richest of the world ignoring impact.
No democracy – the planet’s burning
Children scream - “it’s time for turning”.
Real criminals arrive in limos,
Distract us with their boats and bimbos
Judges in court - talk to your kin:
Those with asthma - a place to begin;
Your child with asthma - the place to begin.
Children with asthma the place to begin
Just stop oil – reset the state.
Just stop oil - evils at the gate.
Just stop oil - govern with a soul.
Better act now - or lose control.
We're all looking on in great despair.
Your actions are killing those who care.
Turn people on people to get your way.
Our planet is dying - you've had your day.
Step aside now. Time to change our ways.
The day is coming to sing in praise
of brave hearted heroes, protesters all.
They'll not go away until we - stop oil
Just stop oil – reset the state.
Just stop oil – evil’s at the gate.
Just stop oil - govern with a soul.
Better act now - or we lose control
Or we lose control.
