Liner Notes

Have to leave very soon, but had another quick go at this prompt. Bigger scale this time

Lyrics

The rescue operation has begun Everyone has to pull together We can’t go on living like this We have to act together as one

Do you really need a second car? Do you really need a first? Every single thing that you buy Begins as candy in your mind’s eye

We consume more than the world has to give If we change our ways, we might just survive But forget about living on Mars We should try to save our planet before that day arrives

We have a chance to rescue ourselves We have a chance for the future We’ll leave Mars for the billionaires And we’ll hope they go there sooner

Wow, two killer skirmish songs for one prompt! This is solid. "Every single thing that you buy / Begins as candy in your mind's eye" really struck me, in particular.

Agreed, I don't want to live on Mars either. But, as long as songs like this one are being written, we have something that ties us together. Hope and music! Well done!

Word up, Mr G, word up. Yeah, nicely protesty.

Wow, two great skirmish songs in the one hour. Fantastic work. This one is more of a protest/ social commentary song than your first one and is all the better for it.
