Children’s Plea: Give us a Future


Tune: Pop Goes the Weasel
Lyrics by Nancy Goedert,
Raging Grannies of Detroit

OU-R children cry out to us
GIVE us a future.
YOU broke our beautiful world
AND you can’t fix it.

You DROVE a hole through the o-Ozone layer
We FEAR to play in the sun now
Skin CANcer looms as future doom.
And YOU can’t fix it.

YOU destroyed the ra-in forests
With OXygen they made
And HAbitats that they gave
And YOU can’t fix it.

You DROVE to extinction
THOUsands of animals
For-ever and for-ever
And YOU can’t fix it.

You TELL us to clean up our mess
While YOU make nuclear waste
POIson water, air and land,
And YOU can’t fix it.

You TEACH us to share
TELL us not to fight
But HAVES don’t share with have-nots
AND, you make war.

You SAY that you love us
Make ACTions match your words
Stop doing what you cannot fix.
STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!
