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.



Now, we got emergency

Oh, we got emergency on planet Earth

Now, we got emergency

Oh, we got 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,

Won't see him in that tv advertising, 'cause it might put you off your food



Now, we got emergency

Oh, we got emergency on planet Earth

Now, we got emergency

Oh, we got emergency on planet Earth
