Seattle Labor Chorus Flying Squad lyrics-Sing along with us 

Do it now!

  1. We need to wake up! We need to wise up! We need to open our eyes & do it now, now, now! We need to build a better future and we need to start right now!
  2. We’re on a planet that has a problem. We’ve got to solve it, get involved & do it now, now, now! We need to build a better future & we need to start right now!
  3. Make it greener, make it cleaner, make it last, make it fast, and do it now, now, now! We need to build a better future and we need to start right now.
  4. No more waiting, or hesitating, we must get wise, take no more lies, and do it now, now, now. We need to build a better future and we need to start right now.

Warning bells (tune:  Silver Bells) lyrics by Lou Truskoff

Chorus: Warning bells (warning bells), hear them ring (hear them ring)

It’s getting warm in the city. Climate change (climate change), that’s the thing (that’s the thing) Soon it will be much too late

We’ve been living on this planet. In our merry old way, Burning coal, gasoline, spewing carbon, But what goes ’round always comes ’round, And those bells make it clear: Take some action before it’s too late

Chorus: Warning bells (warning bells), hear them ring (hear them ring) It’s getting warm on the planet. Climate change (climate change), what will it bring? (what will it bring?) Soon it will be much too late

See the coal train with its long chain O-of uncovered cars. And the poisonous dust, we can’t escape it. Then the coal is shipped to Asia, To make the things we all crave, While the bells now more loudly proclaim:

Chorus: Climate change (climate change), as we sing (as we sing) Its getting warm on the planet, Warning bells (warning bells), do we hear them ring? do we hear them ring?) Soon it will be much too late Soon it will be much too late.

Refrain: We’re gonna roll (3x), this action on. (2 times)

  1. And if the banks do not divest, We’re gonna burn our credit cards (3 x) Ref
  2. And if the banks keep funding oil, we’re gonna take our money out (3X) & if the banks keep funding oil, we’re gonna take our money out. Refrain

*Ain’t gonna let those big banks, turn me round, 3x

Ain’t gonna let those big banks turns me ‘round,

I’m gonna keep on marching, keep on fighting, til we’re done with fossil fuel.

ZIP INS :         Ain’t gonna let greedy bankers..

Ain’t gonna let oil comp’nies…

Ain’t gonna let polluters…

Ain’t gonna let climate wreckers
