lyrics

As the dangers increase
They’re trying to deny it
We’re fighting for our future
We’re fighting for the climate

It ain’t about the light bulbs
It’s about the death of our soil
And how will we feed ourselves
And not our addiction to oil

Strike for the climate
Strike for your health
Strike for the rights of
Those less fortunate than yourself
Or pay your tithing to…

The new colonials
They are…they are
The new colonials
They are…they are
The new colonials
And they’re coming for your right to fucking eat
And probably your right to breathe

It’s not the work
It’s the way that it gets done
Can we all admit it now?
That capitalism is no fun

For workers, for the students
For the poorest folks who feel
The crush of backward policy
What we need is a green new deal

Strike for the climate
Strike for your health
Strike for the rights of
Those less fortunate than yourself
Or pay your tithing to…

The new colonials
They are…they are
The new colonials
They are…they are
The new colonials
And they’re coming for your right to fucking eat
And probably your right to breathe

Look to the young
For they're leading the way
Will we count ourselves among
Those who won’t ever pay
Our tithing to…

The new colonials
They are…they are
The new colonials
They are…they are
The new colonials
And they’re coming for your very right to eat
And definitely your right to breathe

Rad Radical San Jose, California

Make music. Make art. Then give it away.

Anti-racist, anti- fascist.

I’m absolutely convinced of the power of the audience to come together, to help each other through bad times. It’s what the Clash did for me. They gave me music and community and politics and a belief that anything was possible. The future is, indeed, unwritten. ... more
