jordmate Another great guitar track with purpose and a driving beat. Watch out for these driven children, oligarchs, profiteers, and one-percents! ;)

about

The planet is being fried to death. Vested interests would rather see it perish than dismantle the money trail. Our youth are saying no to that. This is a homage to Greta and every concerned, protesting human, feeling compassion for their planet.

lyrics

THE CHILDREN ARE COMING by Greg Champion

hear the cries of angry panicked people
hear the fears of the indignant intimidated
the children are coming, the children are coming

feel the tremor all the way from Greenland
to the floor of the Stock Exchange
the children are coming, the children are coming

hear the colour of insults being hurled
they would not want to listen to a girl
they will fight it till the end of the world
the children are coming, yes, they’re coming

from the halls of the vested interests
through the corridors of politics and power – see them tremble
the children are coming, the children are coming

to those who’d prefer to take the planet down than
see the money trail dismantled – over their dead bodies –
the children are coming, the children are coming

hear the hollow cries of get back to school
cos they’re challenging centuries of rule
and just who will be seen to be the fools
the children are coming, yes, they’re coming

they are taking true leadership
as the holders of power lose their grip
and we’d better get on their trip
the children are coming, yes, they’re coming
