QUOTES

And a bill will be proposed
Section number one
We're shutting down the oil rigs
And turning towards the sun
The air will be clean
For all the boys and girls
'Cause we don't want your oil tankers
We just want the world

We'll be swimming in the rivers
And running to the hills
Reading in the history books
Of wars and oil spills
If it's linear we'll bend it
If it's a straight line it'll curl
'Cause we don't want your dead-end highway
We just want the world

May the fortress walls come down
May we meet our sisters and our brothers
Stand arm and arm there in the daylight
No longer fighting one another
Will we stand together
For therein lies our might
Will we understand these words
"People of the world unite"

"If you knew that the earth was dying
If they said this on the news…
If you could see the ice caps melting…
If you knew the bombs were falling
If they showed them hit the ground
If you could see the bodies flying
If you could hear the sound…
If every time we went to war
To fight our evil foes
they told you we were really fighting
For the good of CEOs…
If you knew that the whole planet
Depended on what you do…
What if you knew?"
