There’s a guy just said on TV Arctic ice is in retreat
The polar bears will disappear `cos they’ll have nothing to eat
If global warming goes too far, we deserve all that we get
Yeah we’d like to save the planet……But we’re just not ready yet
They say a major problem is the use of energy
I know we’ve got a second car, but it’s not as bad as three
And we need to fly to Sunshine cos this weather makes us fret
But we’d like to save the planet…. We’re just not ready yet
They’re cutting down the rainforest, so we can grow more beef
But with obese humans everywhere, do we need more to eat?
Someday we’ll all be veggies, that’s a fairly certain bet
But I’ll leave that bit till later… cos I’m just not ready yet
Not ready yet, not ready yet, Oh we`d love to save the planet
But we’re just not ready yet
And the millions on the coastlines, their homes will disappear
But sea level rises slowly – it’ll take a good few years
And they’re mostly in the Third World, so we won’t get too wet
Oh we’d love to save the planet …. But we’re just not ready yet
And our leaders they all say it’s the economy that counts
They bury their heads in the sand as the climate problems mount
They’ll only save the planet when it’ll bring them votes
That’s politicians for you, huh?... put your fingers down your throat.
(Oh) We’ll all keep on as normal, cos things seem fine just now
But the problems just keep stacking up as we stay blind somehow
And who cares when we pay it back – just raise the carbon debt
(Oh) We’d like to save the planet…. But we’re just not ready yet
Not ready yet, not ready yet
Oh, we’d love to save the planet but we’re just not ready yet.
Our grandchildren will ask us why we’ve left them such a mess
Will we tell the truth and say we always wanted more for less
Short-sighted greed will leave us with a mountain of regret
That we didn`t save the planet… saying “we’re not ready yet”
