Life is not fair People everywhere Are spending years analyzing A fictional affair Think of global warming Help me spread the warning And forget about it By tomorrow morning ♪ You've got time to spare Tell me, will you dare To spend your life as a volunteer So life could be fair? And when you were younger You didn't die of hunger Think of all the children starving An impressive number! ♪ Tell me now how you sleep Safe from bombs and falling fires Will your world just die when They pull out tubes and wires? Your compassion is strong It just goes and comes along And the only way to end it Is to sing a dreadful song! (Sing a very dreadful song!) See the climate changing? Feel the planet ageing? Thinking that you'll die before it Is so much engaging Life's not really fair Feel all that despair Just acknowledge all the horrors Like you really care Tell me now how you sleep Safe from bombs and falling fires Will your world just die when They pull out tubes and wires? Your compassion is strong It just goes and comes along And the only way to end it Is to sing a dreadful song! Sing a very dreadful song Feel the dread and sing along Let me tell you how I sleep Safe from bombs and falling fires And my world will die when They pull out tubes and wires My compassion is strong It just goes and comes along I know how to calm it down I just write a dreadful song! Sing with me a dreadful song! Feel the dread and sing alone
