Um… um… um…
Cheff… Cheff…
Verse 1
I remind you, man like you
Today for profit, tomorrow taboo
Everything digging deeper down
Water running out, silence loud
I warned you: we must save
The water’s pulling back like a wave
The ground is cracking, rivers dry
And you act like it’s all a lie
Pre-Chorus
When it rises up from below
There’s no control, nowhere to go
If humans don’t change their ways
The earth will make us pay
Chorus
Cheff, Cheff, man like you
How long will power blind the truth?
Today you play with nature’s fire
Tomorrow you scream when flames rise higher
Cheff, Cheff, hear the sound
The heat is more than just around
If the earth says, “No more stay”
Where will we live the next day?
Verse 2
The land is drying, you just take
No thought of what the future breaks
Today it’s money, fun, and gain
Tomorrow hunger, dust, and pain
The sun don’t warm, it burns the skin
The wind brings sand, no life within
What once was green is memory
And you still call this “progress,” see
Pre-Chorus 2
This ain’t a trend, it’s survival
Not a speech, it’s vital
The planet speaks, begins to shout
But those in power tune it out
Chorus
Cheff, Cheff, man like you
Will you let it all collapse on cue?
Today you play with nature’s fire
Tomorrow fear is all you acquire
Cheff, Cheff, look around
The world is changing, breaking ground
When the earth says, “That’s enough”
No money will ever be enough
Outro
Um… um… um…
Cheff… Cheff…
The heat is rising, the world is torn
There’s still time… if change is born.
