If the Young Don't March

Tuning Open G
Capo 2
Key A

DGDGBD

They're knocking on the doors of parliament
To show them what their laws have meant
To those without their wealth and power
Seize the moment seize the hour
They're prime time on the evening news
Maybe it will change some views
Of all those who are unaffected
Maybe change a mind or two, of those we have elected
And how will society raise it's voice if all we get is liar's choice

If the young don't march who will
If the young don't march who will
If the young don't march who will
If the young don't march who will

2005 in the USA
Dick Cheney signed the laws away
Giving America's sons and daughters
The right to clean air and water
So Halliburton's favourite son
Made certain fracking's time had come
They said it would be a revolution
In energy production and there wouldn't be any pollution

So they fracked and drilled the coffers filled
And into the water table spilled
The poisons they were pumping
And the farmers and the land they were ruined
From what they were dumping
They spread out across the land there was no-one there to make a stand

And If the young don't march who will…

And now they want to bring it here
And those in power have made it clear
That if you're going to be one of the protesters
You're just a tree-hugging zealot
And you're going to damage the investors
And when it's time to make a choice
And local people raise their voice
To make a life-changing decision
You're going to be on the end of the millionaire's press club derision
And ripping into those who won't say 'yes', the talons of the right-wing press

If the young don't march who will…
