Do you remember Joe Strummer?
He told us that the future is unwritten
And though I loved ol' Joe
I think he got it wrong
Cause everyone I know
Every man and woman
Young or old
They get up every day
And write the future all day long
I guess ol' Joe has got me thinking now
As I watch the news at night
Is the future that we're writing
Gonna be the one that's right?
Joe Strummer said to know your rights
I think he shoulda said to know what's right from wrong
Nobody said that change was easy
And it'll be too late before too long
I'm praying that the world we leave behind us
Won't be a world that's filled with pain
By choosing to do nothing
We drive the train in vain
Joe Strummer said that London's Calling
So is New York and LA
They're calling out in Greenland and down in Wilhelmina Bay
In Vienna and Miami
In Sydney and in Rome
They're calling out for action now
Wherever you call home
Cause as our oceans fill with plastic
We watch our forests go up in flames
We can't keep on pointing fingers
And trying to pass the blame
Joe Strummer said to know your rights
I think he shoulda said to know what's right from wrong
Nobody said that change was easy
And it'll be too late before too long
I'm praying that the world we leave behind us
Won't be a world that's filled with pain
By choosing to do nothing
We drive the train in vain
There's a million little steps we've gotta take into the future
And a little consequence is there for every choice we make
There's a million little steps we've gotta take into the future
We've gotta get our act together now
Cause so much is at stake
We've gotta choose
To make a million changes big and small
And leave behind conveniences
That we have always known
We've gotta choose
To do something
This burden rests upon us all
We've gotta choose
To put our children's future before our own
Joe Strummer said to know your rights
I think he shoulda said to know what's right from wrong
Nobody said that change was easy
And it'll be too late before too long
I'm praying that the world we leave behind us
Won't be a world that's filled with pain
By choosing to do nothing
We drive the train in vain
By choosing to do nothing
We drive the train in vain
