*FOREWORD
Today, our planet is hit by global warming which is likely to increase the level of waters. Rains have become acid and rivers are polluted, nuclear plants have leaks and we don’t know how to dispose of radioactive waste; toxic fumes are rejected in the air, lands become barren because of chemicals, pesticides and artificial fertilizers.
That is the reason why Man who is responsible for this global warmingmust definitelyturn to the Four Elements to save Nature and our Planet and will have to resort to renewable energies, as geothermal science, solar power stations, wind turbines, the production of cars which will reject fewer deadly, poisonous, harmful gases leading to the greenhouse effect.
Now Awareness must give way to Actionto save our beautiful, invaluable and precious planet….Here are our protest songs:
POETIC SYLLOGISM
Fire burns the land when the wind blows,
Wind pokes up fire, but also brings clouds,
Clouds bring rain,
And rain puts out fire,
Thus in the end the wind which sets fire
Will help put fire out.
*ALPHABET
Beach, bird, bark, Brittany
Snow, sun, star, swan,
Mountains, mud, mouse, monkey,
River, Russia, ruby, rice

*DAYDREAM
The wind keeps me awake
Outside my bedroom window
The trees are shaking
Alive, like persons, dancing in the wind
Cicadas humming in the summer twilight
Playing a song, especially for the trees and the wind
And the birds sing with these insects
And I can’t imagine this beautiful painting
With some sort of pollution,
With some sort of destruction,
With some sort of deterioration;
This nature has to remain like this
For thousands and thousands of years
I’d always want
The wind to keep me awake …
*GRIM FUTURE
Hi kids! What are you looking at?
I’m watching my future
My planet and its becoming
I can see a world out of breath
Which suffocates as soon as
We cut and burn its lungs
No trees to renew
Some air that we can’t breathe
As the last park disappears
I see the ‘No future’ sign
This world is an erasure
I’m looking at my planet
Burning in the greed of Humanity
I’m watching my forests die
And mass factories flower
I watch an oil ocean
And water drain
In my f...king brain.
*GREEN QUEEN PLANET
You are so delicate
We are despicable
They can save you
But the law of paraffin controls you
Be my, be my, be my green queen planet
Be my, be my, be my green queen planet
Be my, be my, be my green queen planet
Be my, be my, be my green queen planet
You are so precious
So it is precarious
They are a lot of interesting lives
Always depending on you my darling
Be my, be my, be my green queen planet
Be my, be my, be my green queen planet
Be my, be my, be my green queen planet
Be my, be my, be my green queen planet
*BLUE PLANET
I want to fly, I want to fly,
Because I want to catch the moon
Beautiful planet, exhausted planet
We are able to rescue this planet
Blue planet, Blue planet,
Blue planet, Blue planet
I want to help, I want to help,
Because I love this planet,
Indispensable planet, vulnerable planet
Blue planet, Blue planet,
Blue planet, Blue planet
One man drives a car, it is too bad
One man cares, it is good
Beautiful planet, exhausted planet
We are able to rescue this planet
*AGAINST
I don’t care about human destiny
Human destroy me
Nature is my friend
Trees and flowers make me happy
When I was a young boy I danced with my garden
You are a ‘Naturo-phile’; you are just a ‘Naturo-phile’
I killed hunters, I beheaded fishermen
I am a serial killer, you are a serial killer
Hey, you know,
My friend,
Pollution,
And nuclear waste,
We are, we are…AGAINST!
Pollution, we are against, against, against, against!
Nuclear waste, we are against, against, against, against!
Since I was ten, I’ve been a Greenpeace activist
I’ve made nuclear plants, with bombs, explode
The government arrested me
I escaped from prison, and I’m living in the Bush
You are a terrorist, you are just a terrorist
I’m a superhero, you’re just a superhero
Hey, you know,
My friend,
Pollution,
And nuclear waste,
We are, we are…AGAINST!
Pollution, we are against, against, against, against!
Nuclear waste, we are against, against, against, against!
Nicolas HULOT is my father,
José BOVE is my brother,
Al GORE is my mentor,
These three men and I, we are… AGAINST!
Pollution, we are against, against, against, against!
Nuclear waste, we are against, against, against, against!
*ANGER
As long as flowers and animals
Were alone in this world
And as long as we didn’t fight
On this innocent land
Before us, it was coloured,
Before us, it was oxygenated,
Before us, it was healthy,
And now, it is angry.
Humans are the worst virus for the earth
They just slowly kill it
And now it is really too late
To save it from its suffering
Before us, it was coloured,
Before us, it was oxygenated,
Before us, it was healthy,
And now, it is angry… REALLY
*IF ONLY…
Flowers, trees, Nature
Are destroyed by pollution
A pollution which doesn’t exist
In my world, my dream,my imagination
Waste, greenhouse effect and global warming
Are the consequences of pollution
A pollution which doesn’t exist
In my world, my dream,my imagination
Wind turbines and energy supplies
Are weapons against pollution
A pollution which doesn’t exist
In my world, my dream,my imagination
But if everybody would make an effort,
To avoid polluting,
My world, my dream,my imagination
Would become reality
*COMMITMENT
We are living in a polluted world
Help us to save it
Help us it’s for you, for her, for him, for us,
Become aware
And you’ll change
Go in a wood,
Collect waste,
Drink spring water, not the one polluted,
Go to Greenpeace in an organic suit
Go to demonstrations
Put all into dustbins
To show you like your planet
Get up stand up
Stand up for your life
Without trees our life is finished
So wake up!
And save the planet for a better world
We are living in a polluted world
Help us to save it
Help us it’s for you, for her, for him, for us,
*LOGICAL SONG
The planet needs flowers
As we need it
If we want to survive
Flowers have to survive
Nature made plants
But it also made men
We have to respect nature
So that tomorrow
It is still here
If nuclear plants don’t respect Nature
Then men won’t respect nuclear plants
Let us do something now
And Nature will be here after
*OUR DUTY
I want to see a world with a lot of flowers
It’s a beautiful present for it
For Nature; our selfishness is very dangerous
It is a serious problem for the Earth and for us
Nature has given us many wonders
It needs protection from us and others
Towards Nature it is our duty to help it
And to change its problems together
SEASCAPE
Why can’t we be together
To save our planet Earth,
At this hour?
It’s an emergency
It’s not too early
To save energy
To save Planet Earth
In for a sea change!
The hours of high tide
We show much pride
But the hours of low tide
We are very sad
There is only pollution and a sea of troubles
Let’s defend the sea
Let’s kick out the oil slicks
And protect sardines
And protect herrings, whales, corals, oysters, sharks, cetaceans, sea anemones, scorpion fish, seahorses, shellfish, seals, sea lions, the seabed,
sea birds, sea cucumbers, the seaboard, sea calves,
sea eagles, sea elephants,
sea fish,sea floor,
the sea front,
Etc.
To make a harmonious peaceful world
*THE GUESSING GAME …
Solar fire
has given us warmth
since the night of times, and lit us,
moving darkness away
Now, the sun burns
now, fires alter the Earth
Guess because of whom…
Water is essential
It hydrates the Earth
diverting virtue and benefits
cleaning up all things in its wash
Now, water has become a poison
now, the Earth is thirty
Guess because of whom…
Air refreshes the World
its Pureness
the Earth's breath
is the essence of Life
Now, the air is pestilential
now, winds are blacks
Guess because of whom…
The Earth is our Mother
it gives us life
unites and support us
without it, we are nothing
Now, the Earth is dying
now, our mother is infertile
Guess because of whom…
The end of Harmony,
the Father Elements, little by little, are dissolved
the Fifth leads to destruction
this Time is Darkness, and Man is the King
*SAVE THE PLANET
At present the planet is dying
We need to react necessarily
Because the oceans have become this garbage
In view to the rebel pollution
Then say stop to carelessness and yes to respect for the environment
In this materialistic world, save the planet, show your commitment!
While trees decay
And species disappear
What will become of wildlife and plant-life?
And human life without the ozone layer?
Then say stop to carelessness and yes to respect for the environment
In this materialistic world, save the planet, show your commitment!
A return to sources would be advantageous
Why not a new utopia
A world which would be magical
Without heat waves and droughts
And without nuclear waste!
*
It’s our…It’s our…Planet!
Planet!
It’s our…It’s our…Nature!
Nature!
We could be against pollution,
Because it creates the destruction
Of our planet,
Of Nature,
That is why we should save Planet Earth
It’s our…It’s our…Planet!
Planet!
It’s our…It’s our…Nature!
Nature!
We could adopt green solutions,
Against carbon dioxide, climate change and deforestation
For our planet,
For Nature
That is why we must save Planet Earth!
It’s our…It’s our…Planet!
Planet!
It’s our…It’s our…Nature!
Nature!
*THE LAST TREE SONG
One more day
When the acid winds
Come and whip me
One more day
In a lethargic mood
Looking at the burning planet
You are the one who left after destroying the world
Leaving a world corroded by your poisons.
Don’t you have any remorse?
Welcome once more
To the places which were eaten away by humanity.
The world is deserted, corrupted by profit,
A value as ephemeral as life.
Crushed under the weight of her children
Deprived of breath, the earth got dry
You are the one who left after destroying the world
Leaving a world corroded by your poisons.
Don’t you have any remorse?
Alone and standing up facing a wide desert
Which had been a source of blue life
I am the last
And I remember the time when the wind played with my leaves
The time when water cooled my roots
You are the one who left after destroying the world
Leaving a world corroded by your poisons.
Don’t you have any remorse?
Now the acids of the rains burn me,
My branches are dead,
My roots dry,
The Earth is nothing but a huge desert
Nothing can live on it any more
Here is my ultimate heart beat
One more day
When the extreme sun has just risen up
The last
*HEROES AND VILLAINS
You are on a planet
You are in space
You are in the sky
You are in the stars
Are you ready to take everybody’s hand?
Are you ready to turn with your planet?
Are you ready to open your heart and eyes?
Are you ready?
You are in a city
You are in Nature
You can see waste and grey
You are lost on your planet
Are you ready to take everybody’s hand?
Are you ready to turn with your planet?
Are you ready to open your heart and eyes?
Are you ready?
You feel noting
But you’re hurting it,
You think nothing,
But you’re destroying it
You feel innocent,
But you’re not!
You think you’re the goody,
But you’re the baddie!
*JUST
Just react!
Unfit is the planet
Suffering because of your acts
Topsy -turvy is the planet
Save it now
After it will be too late
Vigorous, you have to be now or the
End, you’ll serve on a plate!
Ozone friendly we are
United! United!
Revolution has started!
Protect flowers
Let nature be beautiful
Animals will thank you for it
Nature needs you to do it
Encourage everybody
To join the ‘Green attitude’!
*CHANGE THE WORLD
The Earth is ruined
Because of waste, global warming
And emission of carbon dioxide.
But I can clean up the Earth
And everything will be safe.
Together we must save and store energy
Making energy supplies and wind turbines.
I want to change the world,
Rescue humans.
I want to change the world,
Meet pollution.
I want to change the world,
Make a green revolution.
Yes, I can do that.
I want to make peace on Earth
Dispose of terrorist attacks.
We need rebel against bad people.
I want to deplete weapons
And nuclear bombs.
Everyone will be safe
And the world will be safe.
I want to change the world,
Rescue humans.
I want to change the world,
Meet pollution.
I want to change the world,
Make a green revolution.
Yes, I can do that.
*GREEN ATTITUDE
Today, I watched TV
A small cigarette thrown from a car
Caused a fire, and the death of three people
When I end my cigarette, I don’t forget to put it out
When I stop eating, I don’t forget to throw the waste in the bin
When I finish brushing my teeth, I don’t forget to close the tap
When I go to school I favour public transport
Today, I listened to the radio
Dozens of dolphins had died
They had unfortunately been smothered by plastic bags
When I end my cigarette, I don’t forget to put it out
When I stop eating, I don’t forget to throw the waste in the bin
When I finish brushing my teeth, I don’t forget to close the tap
When I go to school I favour public transport
Today, I read the newspaper
A family had died from thirst
The well where they used to go was empty
When I end my cigarette, I don’t forget to put it out
When I stop eating, I don’t forget to throw the waste in the bin
When I finish brushing my teeth, I don’t forget to close the tap
When I go to school I favour public transport
Today, I opened an Internet page
A new nuclear station had opened
The ice floe is still melting
…….
*AWARENESS
As usual, I wake up in the morning
And I see through the window the world dying
While people are quietly sleeping
Our nice planet remains infected
More pollution, more destruction
People seem to enjoy contamination
More pollution, more destruction
People seem to love their extinction
We are destroying the natural stability
Woods and water get nasty, unusable,
And the ground soon toxic becomes unworkable
All the culprits dare to say ‘There’s no longer energy’
More pollution, more destruction
People seem to enjoy contamination
More pollution, more destruction
People seem to love their extinction
Careless human acts without caution
Black petrol brings death
Dark cities kill the Earth
Well, what about the next generation?
*THINK ABOUT US!
What are you doing?
What will you leave them?
Do you realize?
So many questions but no answers
The Earth is dying, the Earth is dying!
Where and how will children live?
Think about us! Think about us! (x2)
They never chose to live on a dying planet
Think about us!
They will just remember their ancestors were killers
When you become older you will only be able to tell
How wonderful the Earth was
That there were birds in the sky
Your grandchildren will say that
The world was amazingly beautiful
Before, and you will be ashamed to tell
It’s because of Man there’s nothing left now
Think about us! Think about us! (x2)
They never chose to live on a dying planet
Think about us!
They will just remember their ancestors were killers, killers,
Killers (fade)
*FOOLS’DAYS
Don’t listen to all these people
These warming messages don’t make any sense
Why do they bother us with ecology?
Let us live! Leave us alone!
We want to do what we dream of
Burn every tree
Tag every wall
Use our car every time
Throw everything on the streets
We are right! Pollute, dirty, degrade and kill!
Lt’s make the best of life!
Don’t think about the Environment!
Don’t worry, we’ll go away!
When the air is unbreathable
We’ll make oxygen masks
When water submerges cities
We’ll build artificial islands
When the temperature is really hot
We’ll wear sun-suits
When food disappears
We’ll eat ‘soylent green’
When humanity is destroyed
