“You are failing us. But the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you. And if you choose to fail us I say we will never forgive you. We will not let you get away with this. Right here, right now is where we draw the line. The world is waking up. And change is coming, whether you like it or not.” #howdareyou #climatestrike full speech here https://youtu.be/v33ro5lGHQg

LYRICS
A young lass from Sweden
Says, wake up! You’ve poisoned the garden
And the eyes of the children are watching now
Some little girl from Sweden
Says, wake up! You’ve pissed in the garden
And the eyes of the children are watching now
Somehow
We’ve got to shake them awake
The climate change anxiety
You’ve “thrown out” upon me
… shouldn’t be
And the eyes of the children are watching now
Somehow
We’ve got to shake them awake
The solution to your pollution
Is in your institution
It’s not just me
Responsibility to society
Really
And the eyes of the children are watching now
Somehow
We’ve got to shake them awake
You’re ringing the alarm bell of hell
And the eyes of the children are watching now
Killin’ kids and babies… ain’t no maybe’s
And the eyes of the children are watching now
Somehow
We’ve got to shake them awake
“The eyes of all future generations are upon you.”
So, what are you going to do?!?!
