the kids need education
and the streets are never clean
i've seen a certain disposition, prevailing in the wind,
sweet change if anybody's listening?
emergency on planet earth
is that life that i am witnessing
or just another wasted birth

we got emergency
emergency on planet earth

think we're standing for injustice
white gets two and black gets five years,
took me quite a while to suss this,
but now i know my head is cleared
and a little boy in hungry land, is just a picture in the news,
change shoes
won't see him in the tv advertising,
cause it might put you off your food

we got emergency
emergency on planet earth
