The kids need education   And the streets are never clean   I've seen a certain disposition   Prevailing in the wind      Sweet change, if anybody's listening?   Emergency on planet earth   Is that life that I am witnessing   Or just another wasted birth?      Now we got emergency   Emergency on planet earth   Now we got emergency   We got emergency on planet earth, just a head up      Think we're standing for injustice   White gets two and black gets five years   Well it took me quite a while to suss this   Now I know my head is cleared      And a little boy in hungry land   Is just a picture in the news   I won't see him in the TV advertising   'Cause it might put you off your food      Now we got emergency   We got emergency on planet earth   Now we got emergency   We got emergency on planet earth, come on      Is anybody out there?   Is anybody out there?   Is anybody out there?   We got emergency on planet earth, just a head up      See what we got   Emergency on planet earth is what we got   I tell 'em what we got now   Emergency on planet earth is what we got      Is someone out there?   Emergency on planet earth is what we got   Somebody help me   Somebody help me now   'Cause we got an emergency      Come on somebody help us now   I will need you   Somebody help us now
