climate change songs about the world burning if we don't save it in time

"We creep up on extinction"

"Thinking institution's the solution
While tyranny and irony float in its pollution"

"The sun is sitting in the treetops burnin the woods
And as the flames from the blaze get higher and higher"

"The temperature is rising
And no one knows"

"The world burns by
You've got smoke in your eyes"
