Today's society seems to consist of an awful lot of whinging over either current or historical matters.
At some point whinging needs to turn into action.
1 2 3
Action!
Listen up!
To your battlestations!
Time is now for climate action!
But we react to distractions
From capitalist corporations
And tyrannical nations,
Inciting a class war,
Bigotry we can't ignore,
For a higher number
On the genocide score.
So we vocalise our protestations,
But we can't walk the streets
With our slumlords to please;
Rent is still due, utilities too
So at work we spew:
We can't go out to fight
When we have work that night,
Two kids, a dog, a cost of living blight;
It's tight.
