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

This 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
