about

Used by Greenpeace for their 2010 Copenhagen climate change campaign.

lyrics

I woke up this morning, all the trees were gone
A concrete jungle left outside, oh no
They said on the radio, the seas were warm
And all the fish had gone and died, oh no

So what do we do now

I woke up this morning all our water’s gone
And now the ocean’s at my door, oh no
They said on the radio a storm would come
And wash away my neighbourhood, oh no

So what do we do now

I woke up this morning all the birds were gone
Politicians act alarmed, oh no
They said on the radio we’ll wait and see
The economy cannot be harmed, oh no

But can you see
Do you believe it now
