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, oh
Emergency on planet earth
Is that life that I am witnessing
Or just another wasted birth
(Chorus)
Now, we got emergency
Oh, we got emergency on planet earth
Now, we got emergency
Oh, we got emergency on planet earth
I think we're standing for injustice
White gets two and black gets five years
Took me quite a while to focus
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, hey yeah
(Repeat Chorus)
