Come gather ‘round people, we want you to hear
‘bout threats to the earth,
they are something to fear
the world is on fire — Armageddon is near
This is urgent – no time for debating!
Our beautiful planet is dying, it’s clear
for the climate it is a-changing

Come liars, deniers who call it a hoax
Who pretend these disasters are nothing but jokesWhen your children get asthma
and grandmother chokes
even Fox might admit they were faking
When the air that we breathe
is like three packs of smokes
then the climate, it is a-changing

The glaciers are melting, the forests will burn
and the great wheel of karma will finally turn
And the powerful now will later be spurned
’Cause it’s science and truth the world’s craving
Don’t say it’s too late to finally learn
that the climate, it is a-changing

Now Trump is reversing the progress we’ve made
giving Zeldin the job to destroy EPA
He loves his polluters, won’t stand in their way
But the people are angry – we’re raging
“Hands off! our environment!” that’s what we say
for the climate it is a-changing

We’ve got to change course immediately
with massive investments in clean energy
and lots of green jobs, for our economy
because life on earth is worth saving
Get clean off of carbon and let the earth breathe
for the climate, it is a cha -a-anging
