CHORUS ONE: ( LOWER VOICES)

Breaking into public space!

Breaking into public space!

Breaking into public space!

Breaking into public space!

VERSE ONE:

The city waits for us to see

This park, this side walk, and this street

The heart of where we come to be

The citizens who still believe

Speaking freely

Speaking freely

Speaking freely

Speaking freely

Sets us free!

CHORUS TWO: (HIGHER VOICES )

Standing up in public in space!

Standing up in public in space!

Standing up in public in space!

Standing up in public in space!

VERSE TWO:

The city wants to raise the stakes

Our rights are there within its gates

Let’s go there, not incorporate

Our freedom waits, our freedom waits.

Speaking freely

Speaking freely

Speaking freely

Speaking freely

Sets us free!

BRIDGE

You’ve got such strong opinions

I’ve got my own orations

We’ve got such strong revisions

We’ve got our own elations

Breaking into public space!

Breaking into public space!

Breaking into public space!

Breaking into public space!

VERSE ONE:

The city waits for us to see

This park, this side walk, and this street

The heart of where we come to be

The citizens who still believe

You’ve got such strong opinions

I’ve got my own orations

We’ve got such strong revisions

We’ve got our own elations

You’ve got such strong opinions

I’ve got my own orations

We’ve got such strong revisions

We’ve got our own elations

CHORUS THREE:

Shouting out in public space!

Shouting out in public space!

Shouting out in public space!

Shouting out in public space!

Shouting out in public space!

Shouting out in public space!

Shouting out in public space!

Shouting out in public space!

VERSE ONE

someplace too small

someplace there's a war on

someplace is a catastrophe

and someplace capital k k k killing it

some people dream dreams diff'rent than the dreams

of people they were born beside

and some dreams can't come true inside some families

CHORUS

as many reasons for leaving as for living

and the cause for leaving is LIVING

we got to live [we got to live]

but we try to leave and it's like...

VERSE TWO

really long way it's a really long walk

really long wait really long line

ev'rything you got and a really long long time

shh! be silent

shh! shh! don't even think

shh! shh! shh! no mouth

shh! no sound

shh! no voice

shh! no you don't even speak right

CHORUS

VERSE THREE

where were you born?

how much money you got?

what's your final destination?

and have you ever been / have you ever

have you ever been convicted of crime?

fear for your life / do you have any skills?

are you a homo communist?

is there anyone you can call for help?

CHORUS

BRIDGE

HEY! did you shout from the crowd in that jail

how we map out our fantastic

then we sing our way across the

constellation

we're on the move

our bodies of the earth

washing out borders / burying walls

we're on the move

washing out borders / burying walls

FINAL CHORUS

Love at the gate

that's the sound of Justice

Love at the gate

that's the sound of Justice [Justice]

Love at the gate [I heard]

that's the sound of Justice [Justice]

Love at the gate [I heard]

that's the sound of Justice [Justice]

Love at the gate [I heard]

that's the sound of Justice [Justice]

Love at the gate [I heard]

that's the sound of Justice

Love at the gate [I heard]

that's the sound of Justice [Justice]

Love at the gate [I heard]

that's the sound of

that's the sound of

that's the sound of... Justice!

Manmade weather

Anxious weather

Bad news

catastrophic change

What is happening to me?

What is happening to us

What is happening to the world

Did I ever like this country? ..

Whats happening to this country

Is it even real?

Its been going on forever

and its always at a distance

And Its more than just  my problem

And i cant ignore this problem

Everything just feels so  danger ous

And Everyone is anxious

The anxiety’s like glitter

And the glitters made of plastic

And the rivers overflowing

(As) the hurricanes keep growing

Where’s the answer to these problems?

Where’s the answer to these problems

Where’s the answer

Where’s the answer

(But) The fear is just a waste of time

Until the fear Turns into action

I”M  a  Mountain Lion jumping

I”M   a parachuting spider

I”M A turtle on a raft in a

swiftly moving current

With the cosmos always swirling

and the fossil records Turning

and a murder of crows they go

CAW CAW CAW

The murder of crows they go caw

let's you and me go swimming in the dead zone sea
de-demonize the wuhan bat the civet cat goes free

let's you and me go climbing up the blackened mountainside
apologize to the bleeding sun we lost the last words

let's you and me go flying take a rocket to the innocent trees
breath the smog of broken data crash in the crime of the trees

let's me and you go dying when the race to end our race
look up from the mirror and into the eyes of everyone's unknown beautiful face

I love the horizon leaping to its death
let's embrace what isn't there let's go for a swim in the raging flood
of mother earth's self care

Beautiful Earth Beautiful Earth
What do you have to say?
Fire and storm virus and death
Earth can you please translate?

Beautiful Earth Beautiful Earth
What do we need to hear?
Sorrow and shock the ones we love
Earth will you break our fear?

​Beautiful Earth, Beautiful Earth
You think we are the storm
Are we debris? And deadly wind?
Ever since we were born

Be friend to the animal Be friend to the tree
Be friend to the caterpillar Be friend to the sea
Be friend to the animal Be friend to the tree Be friend to the butterfly Be friend to the sea

​Beautiful Earth, Beautiful Earth You think we are the storm, Are we debris? And deadly wind? Ever since we were born
Oh beautiful Earth Oh beautiful Earth Oh beautiful Earth, What do we need to hear? Sorrow and shock, the ones we love Earth will you break our fear?

Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Earth
You're right her nearby somewhere I can feel you we just got some pavement here some concrete-gotta blow all the walls down, like a storm, get out of the car, out of the traffic jam, out of the suburban sprawl, out of the toxins in the air. We love you so much we're gonna take that journey you and me take that time get the map got the map oh its inside us we forgot that now we remember the earth gave us the map thank you Earth yeah were gonna sing beautiful Earth you guided us and now we promise we will shout in the streets beautiful Earth do everything we gotta do we'll risk arrest go to jail teach the children tear down the refinery with our bare hands ....change in the time of extinction...extinction demands revolution.
You showed us the way and now we're walking on that alpine meadow, walking the wetlands, across the long grass prairie, swimming across the coral reef, climbing the mountain, flooding down the river, to the valley, beautiful Earth, beautiful Earth, thank you for showing us the way, thank you, you waited for us, beautiful Earth.

What did you do to the great outdoors
and to our children's children--Why and what for?
You couldn't decide about that thing called life
You wanted more gas, more guns more sacrifice.

Will a child from the future knock on your door?
Will she say I'm a dead kid from 2044?
You don't seem to want your future anymore
But the future wants life not war

I am the X in Extinction you fools
your children's children from 2044
And I am looking for a vacation
In the great outdoors

Extinction takes a vacation
I walk in your door
Your population of bodies
Is my white sand shore.

This pandemic made of humans
has lost its roar
You're my scenic view now
you're my forest floor

I am the X in Extinction you fools
your children's children from 2044
And I am looking for a vacation
In the great outdoors
