HOW DARE YOU
All music written and performed by John Mollusk. Inspired by, and all lyrics by Greta Thunberg
My message is that we’ll be watching you.
This is all wrong.
I shouldn’t be up here.
I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean.
Yet, you all come to us young people for hope.
How dare you!
You have stolen my dreams
and my childhood with your empty words.
Yet I’m one of the lucky ones.
People are suffering.
People are dying.
Entire ecosystems are collapsing.
We are in the beginning of a mass extinction,
and all you can talk about is money
and fairy tales of eternal economic growth?
How dare you?
For more than 30 years,
the science has been crystal clear.
How dare you
continue to look away, and come here and say you are doing enough
when the politics and solutions needed are nowhere in sight?
You say that you hear us
and understand the urgency,
but no matter how sad and angry I am,
I don’t want to believe that.
Because if you really understood the situation
and still kept on failing to act,
then you would be evil,
and that I refuse to believe.
