Take Our Planet Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Al Gore: Today, I challenge our nation to commit to producing 100% of our electricity from renewable energy and truly clean carbon-free sources within 10 years.
Calling all the leaders to lead us out the hole
Asking all deceivers the things I want to know
If we're so technological
Why're we still burning oil
'Cause I got a car you plug into the wall that's faster than a GTO
We shot for the stars, put rovers on Mars, make planes like UFOs
So why are we borrowin' money from China to buy oil from the Gulf and destroyin' the world
Al Gore: Every bit of that has to change…
Now that's got to change
Now that's got to change
(Chorus x3)
We'll stand up
We'll stand up and take our planet back
You and me
We'll stand up
We'll stand up and take our planet back
Talkin' 'bout we
Talkin' 'bout we
Talkin' 'bout
Calling all the citizens
(Al Gore: Citizens…)
Citizens of the land
Ask you your politicians
(Al Gore: Political Leaders…)
All these questions
If we fight another war on terror
Why aren't we fighting for the environment
We spend a billion dollars on wars in foreign lands
But nothin' on education
Nikola Tesla turned the Niagara Falls into energy way back when
(Al Gore: Energy…)
And we're still burning coal
(Al Gore: Coal…)
When you can make electricity with solar and wind
(Al Gore: Solar and wind…)
Now who's getting played?
You and me
And who's getting paid?
(Chorus x3)
We'll stand up
We'll stand up and take our planet back
You and me
We'll stand up
We'll stand up and take our planet back
Talkin' 'bout we
Talkin' 'bout we, we, we, we
I'm askin' all the citizens to take action
(Al Gore: Citizens…)
Take action and take back the government
Tell the government to start taxin' pollution
Makin' laws 'cause that's the solution
It should be against the law to make pollution
So if they make products that do what the other products do
But they didn't pollute, what are you gonna choose?
Al Gore:
We should tax what we burn, not what we earn.
To those who say the challenge is not politically viable
I suggest they go before the American people and try to defend the status quo
And then bear witness to the people's appetite for dramatic change
The time is now.
