It's great to be invited here by the XR youth
We've waited a long time for people to come and start carrying these banners.
Some of us on the march we've been doing this all the way back to the miners' strike.
it was the miners' strike that inspired us to get political. A class struggle in our own country,
against the government that was attacking the welfare state,
attacking the idea of a multicultural society that's what inspired us to get political
well extinction rebellion is your minors' strike it's your moment to get involved and to get up there and get politicized.
Ask yourself a question that we asked ourselves in the miners' strike
and people have been asking themselves in struggles ever since, which side are you on?
Come gather round people wherever you roam
and admit that the waters around you have grown
and accept that soon you'll drenched to the bone
for the climate is obviously changing.
But the fool in the White House says no one's to blame.
The times they are a changing ...BACK...
yeah that's where we are brothers and sisters
Come Mexicans Muslims LGBT and Jews and keep your eyes wide for what's on the news.
But president Trump is expressing his views and I fear that the mob he's inciting
will soon break your windows and burn down your schools.
The times they are a changing ...BACK...
Come mothers and daughters throughout the land.
A bunch of old men have come up with a plan
So forget your ambitions they have got better ideas
about how you should be behaving
so get back in the kitchen and button your lip.
The times they are a changing ...BACK...
In the land of the free and the home of the brave
Martin Luther King is spinning in his grave
to see a biggoted bully take to the stage
and he calls upon us to be faithful
to the ideals he died for in another age
The times they are a changing ...BACK...
and the line is strong and the curse it is cast slow one now will later be fast
as the present now will later be past let's hold on to that idea for a moment...
And the first one now will later be last.
For the times are a changing
Extinctio rebellion youth, you must know
