A reworking of Florence Reece's 1930s protest song, for the Extinction era. All profits going to environmental charities.

lyrics

Well it takes a fifteen year old girl
To put us all to shame
She said I'll not go back to your school no more
For you've pissed my future down the drain

While governments chasing GDP
It stares us in the face
A measurement of human worth?
Whoops there goes the human race

A tipping points a tipping point
And we can't go back no more
Their poisoning more than our minds
The system's poisoned to the core

You vote for a flag, a filthy rag
That to me it has no worth
For there are no nation states
When there's nothing left living on this earth

Fire and blood and anguish
Is this our legacy?
While our children's future goes extinct
We drown in nature docs on the BBC

When this world is on its deathbed
What will be your defence?
I was too busy watching the walking dead
Now it's too late to get off the fence

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on boy?
Girl, which side are you on?
