PLANET ON FIRE Brian Campbell (Sept. 2019) © reg. SOCAN

This planet’s on fire
This planet’s on fire
This planet’s on fire
This planet’s on fire

The poor locked in their deathtraps
The rich they’re cool with it
And so many we’ve put in power don’t give a damn

Fire raging in California
Brazil Greece Australia
Greenland melting like a Dali clock

This planet’s on fire
This planet’s on fire
This planet’s on fire
This planet’s on fire

Pavement melting in Karachi
Lake Chad mud flats cracking
Coral reefs turning silver as ash

Rake-thin polar bears on ice caps
Treeline trees gone madcap
Choking on plumes of methane gas

We know who are the enemy
We know who are the enemy
Way up in their corner offices they refuse to see

We don’t have much time now
We don’t have much space now
Come join us in this struggle to be free

This planet’s on fire
This planet’s on fire
Come join us now in this fight to be
[Instrumental]
This planet’s on fire
This planet’s on fire
This planet’s on fire
This planet’s on fire

This planet’s on fire
Come join us in this final this fight to be
Our final fight to be
To love, to desire, gotta fight this fire with fire
Of love of life of love of life of love of life life
