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
