“You are failing us. But the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you. And if you choose to fail us I say we will never forgive you. We will not let you get away with this. Right here, right now is where we draw the line. The world is waking up. And change is coming, whether you like it or not.” #howdareyou #climatestrike full speech here https:\/\/youtu.be\/v33ro5lGHQg

LYRICS
\nA young lass from Sweden
\nSays, wake up! You’ve poisoned the garden
\nAnd the eyes of the children are watching now
\nSome little girl from Sweden
\nSays, wake up! You’ve pissed in the garden
\nAnd the eyes of the children are watching now
\nSomehow
\nWe’ve got to shake them awake<\/p>\n
The climate change anxiety
\nYou’ve “thrown out” upon me
\n… shouldn’t be
\nAnd the eyes of the children are watching now
\nSomehow
\nWe’ve got to shake them awake<\/p>\n
The solution to your pollution
\nIs in your institution
\nIt’s not just me
\nResponsibility to society
\nReally
\nAnd the eyes of the children are watching now
\nSomehow
\nWe’ve got to shake them awake<\/p>\n
You’re ringing the alarm bell of hell
\nAnd the eyes of the children are watching now
\nKillin’ kids and babies… ain’t no maybe’s
\nAnd the eyes of the children are watching now
\nSomehow
\nWe’ve got to shake them awake<\/p>\n
“The eyes of all future generations are upon you.”
\nSo, what are you going to do?!?!<\/p>\n
