Lyrics for We’re talking about our Climate – Song Version

Instrumental:   De de de du   De de de du 

De de de du, De de de du, De de de du

You know gas
Is very bad.
And it’s very sad
The Libs say it’s not.

They’re talking rot!
De de de du   

They always say,
“Gas is better than coal.
Hey, it’s OK!”
But it’s not.

They’re talking rot!
De de de du 

We’re talking about our Climate, here.
We’re talking about our Climate.
You know with extraction and transmission,
Fugitive action and methane emission,
Gas can be worse
Than coal.

And if the extraction is done by fracking
It’s a curse.

A terrible curse.
De de de du 

We’re talking about our Climate, here.
We’re talking about our Climate.

Fracking hurts everything we need:
Our water, land and Indigenous cultures,
Plants’ and animals’ and farmers’ futures, 

And our Climate, of course.

What could be worse?
De de de du 

It’s just got to stop.
De de de du 

De de de du, De de de du, De de de du

Don’t the miners and the pollies understand
What’s at stake?

Apparently not.
De de de du

Or they would just stop.
De de de de de

It’s just got to stop!
De de de de de

We’re talking about our Climate:
Fires, floods and storms and rain,
South Pacific Islands under water again.
More death and destruction…..

Bells and Tambourine roll

Here we go again.

De de de du

We’re talking about our Climate, here.
We’re talking about our Climate.

So don’t vote for the Liberal Party.
Cause they won’t stop
Giving tax payers money to the gas extractors.

They say, “Technology not Taxes”.
But what about our tax dollars and indeed our futures
They give to the fossil fuel polluters?

De de de du

I’ve asked them please to stop
Stop giving our money to the fossil fuel polluters.

But they don’t stop.  De
And they won’t stop – De
Till we stop – De
Voting for them. 

De de de du   De de de du
De de de du, De de de du, De de de du

We’re talking about our Climate, here.
We’re talking about your Climate.
Don’t they know it’s their Climate too?
We’re talking about our Climate.

It’s just got to stop!   )
