[The 1975 - The 1975 NOACF lyrics]
Riktigt proffsigt att stryka lite grejer
Yeah yeah
Jag tänker det här
Det hör inte riktigt hemma här
We are right now in the beginning
Of a climate and ecological crisis
And we need to call it what it is
An emergency
We must acknowledge that we do not
Have the situation under control
And that we don't have
All the solutions yet
Unless those solutions mean that we
Simply stop doing certain things
We must admit that we are losing this battle
We have to acknowledge that the
Older generations have failed
All political movements in their
Present form have failed
But Homo sapiens have not yet failed
Yes, we are failing, but there is still time
To turn everything around
We can still fix this
We still have everything in our own hands
But unless we recognise the overall
Failures of our current systems
We most probably don't stand a chance
We are facing a disaster of unspoken
Sufferings for enormous amounts of people
And now is not the time
For speaking politely or
Focusing on what we can or cannot say
Now is the time to speak clearly
Solving the climate crisis is
The greatest and most
Complex challenge that Homo sapiens
Have ever faced the main solution, however
Is so simple that even a
Small child can understand it
We have to stop our
Emissions of greenhouse gases
And either we do that, or we don't
You say that nothing in life
Is black or white
But that is a lie, a very dangerous lie
Either we prevent a 15 degree of warming
Or we don't
Either we avoid setting off that irreversible
Chain reaction beyond human control
Or we don't either we choose to go
On as our civilization, or we don't
That is as black or white as it gets
Because there are no grey areas
When it comes to survival
Now, we all have a choice
We can create transformational action
That will safeguard
The living conditions for future generations
Or we can continue with our
Business as usual and fail
That is up to you and me and yes
We need a system change
Rather than individual change
But you cannot have one without the other
If you look through history
All the big changes in society have been
Started by people at the grassroots level
People like you and me
So, I ask you to please wake up
And make the changes required possible
To do your best is no longer good enough
We must all do the seemingly impossible
Today, we use about 100 million barrels
Of oil every single day
There are no politics to change that
There are no rules to keep
That oil in the ground
So, we can no longer save the
World by playing by the rules
Because the rules have to be changed
Everything needs to change
And it has to start today
So, everyone out there
It is now time for civil disobedience
It is time to rebel
Yeah yeah
