It's going to be a life and death struggle
To compel the fossil fuel extraction industry
To leave all that money in the ground
Expropriating the billionaire owners.
The good of the planet and the people of the world
Our rallying cry against the self serving capitalists
Requires nothing less than removing their class
Taking the power from them to change everything.
Right now they are in complete control
The courts the police the politicians all do their bidding
The media tell us anything else is unthinkable
Even as the climate crisis emergency hits home.
But when the idea of the socialist alternative takes hold
Spreading through every place and every way
Mobilizing all manner of actions to seize the day
There will be no stopping the determined population.
Today their government eliminates all restraints
Against the rapacious destruction of the environment
In a desperate rush to cash in at the last minute
Before popular anger slams the door shut.
Tomorrow necessity will be the mother of invention
Transforming how we live and work together
Based on a whole earth health awareness
With science in the service of global well being.
