[Verse 1]
Don’t hold out for the next time
Might not survive the crime
(No, don’t hold out for your pride)
’cause long ago, should’ve died
Don’t wait and procrastinate
Better off to participate
(No, don’t be ruled by ego)
Should have let ‘er go long ago
[Chorus]
Next time pass the looking-glass
Take the time to see
We’re the ones to blame
For the outcome of this game
[Bridge]
Look and see
(Responsibility)
[Verse 2]
Don’t hold out for the flip-side
Might not be along for the ride
(No, don’t hold out for your pride)
’cause long ago, should’ve died
Don’t procrastinate your fate
Better off setting things straight
(No, don’t be ruled by ego)
Should have let ‘er go long ago
[Chorus]
Next time pass the looking-glass
Take the time to see
We’re the ones to blame
For the outcome of this game
[Bridge]
Look and see
(Responsibility)
[Chorus]
Next time pass the looking-glass
Take the time to see
We’re the ones to blame
For the outcome of this game
[Bridge]
Look and see
(Responsibility)
[Outro]
Responsibility
(Due to me)
A SCIENCE NOTE
The government’s climate change actions reveal a troubling mix of ignorance and indifference, turning what were once “worst-case” climate predictions into our current “best-case” scenarios. Updated climate models, now incorporating social-ecological factors, project that global temperatures could rise by as much as 9°C within this century — a drastic increase compared to previous estimates of a 4°C rise over the next millennium. Such extreme warming could push the planet toward a critical “wet-bulb” temperature threshold, where heat and humidity exceed the human body’s capacity to cool itself, posing severe and potentially lethal health risks. The need for decisive and immediate action has never been more urgent as climate change continues to spiral beyond control.
Unfortunately, that’s the reality. The root of the problem lies with us — the people. Government officials simply reflect our choices. Until consumer demands become more socially responsible, we’ll continue to get exactly what we want — and deserve. Each person bears the responsibility to minimize pollution, discontinue the use of fossil fuels, reduce consumption, and foster a culture of love and care. Only then can we drive the collective action needed to address the climate crisis and build a sustainable future.
