Earth or Bust
\n[Silence]
\n[Instrumental, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano, Organ, Synth]<\/p>\n
[Intro]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Twangy Electric Guitar, Driving Bass, Loose Garage Drums, Hammond Organ Stabs and a Fast Analog Synth Pulse]
\n[Spoken Vocal]
\nStick out your thumb…
\n(Ummm)
\nWhere are you going?
\n(Not knowing…)
\nEarth…<\/p>\n
Or bust?<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nStanding by the roadside
\nWatching traffic roll
\nEverybody’s moving
\nBut nobody gives a ride<\/p>\n
Got a little suitcase
\nGot a head full of dust
\nOne road goes nowhere
\nOne road says trust<\/p>\n
Fossil fuel fool
\nPushing one more mile
\nBurning through the future
\nWith a confident smile<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nThumb!
\n(Thumb a ride!)
\nRide!
\n(Nowhere to hide!)<\/p>\n
Choose!
\n(Choose!)
\nA side!<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nStickin’ out my thumb
\n(Feelin’ a little dumb)
\nEarth… or bust
\n(It’s a must)<\/p>\n
The fossil fuel fool
\n(Has made it uncool)
\nBoth figuratively
\n(And literally…)<\/p>\n
Literally!<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nEarth or bust!
\n(Earth or bust!)
\nWhat’s it gonna be?<\/p>\n
Earth or bust!
\n(Earth or bust!)
\nChoose your destiny<\/p>\n
Earth or bust!
\n(Earth or bust!)
\nIt’s a must!<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nYou don’t have to suffer
\nYou don’t have to crawl
\nYou don’t have to give up
\nThe good things at all<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Electric Guitar Solo: Raucous Garage-Rock Lead With Wah-Wah, Hammond Organ, Synth Bass and Driving Drums]<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nFiguratively!
\n(Literally!)<\/p>\n
Fossil fuel
\n(Fool!)<\/p>\n
Cool?
\n(Not cool!)<\/p>\n
Heat!
\n(Heat!)<\/p>\n
Fuel!
\n(Fool!)<\/p>\n
Burning the future
\nIs nobody’s rule<\/p>\n
[Rap Vocal Break]
\nStick out your thumb
\nHitch a ride
\nBut don’t get stuck
\nOn the wrong side<\/p>\n
Old technology
\nOld demand
\nOld excuses
\nOld command<\/p>\n
“Can’t change”
\n(Why not?)
\n“Costs too much”
\n(Does not)<\/p>\n
Check the ledger
\nCheck the bill<\/p>\n
Maybe changing
\nPays you still<\/p>\n
Demand destruction
\nStarts with a revolution<\/p>\n
[Breakdown]
\n[Music Drops to Bass, Acoustic Guitar and Hand Claps]
\nEarth…<\/p>\n
Or bust.<\/p>\n
[Whispered]<\/p>\n
It’s a must.<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nStickin’ out my thumb
\n(Feelin’ a little dumb)
\nEarth… or bust
\n(It’s a must)<\/p>\n
The fossil fuel fool
\n(Has made it uncool)
\nBoth figuratively
\n(And literally…)<\/p>\n
Literally!<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nEarth or bust!
\n(Earth or bust!)
\nWe’re on the road<\/p>\n
Earth or bust!
\n(Earth or bust!)
\nTime to lighten the load<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Instrumental Outro: Twangy Electric Guitar, Bass, Drums, Hammond Organ and Synth; Band Accelerates Into a Sudden Stop]
\nEarth…
\n(Not so robust?)
\nEarth…
\n(A new birth)
\nEarth or bust!<\/p>\n
[Spoken, fading]
\nLiterally…
\n(Reality)<\/p>\n
