about

This track is dedicated to all of the passionate protesters who participated in the Australian School Strike for Climate Action and for those who continue to fight for their future. Your strength of unity and determination to raise awareness for issues that will effect us and our children inspired the creation of this anthem.

So march on.

Protest peacefully. Share knowledge and ideas. Save our future. We will rally behind you for our planet; for the common ground which we all stand upon.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Shush
Are you listening?
They are whispering fates
On broken soap box crates
We are gathering
March the streets

Shush
Were you listening?
They are quiet but fierce
And young enough to still fight
fear

Pre Chorus:
Words at age seven
Strikes the clock at eleven to twelve

Instrumental:

Verse 2:
Shut up!
Aren't you listening?
They are crushed by the weight of the
World that they need to protect
We are gathering
H-help them to breathe

Shut up!
You aren't listening!
What a tragedy
This is the legacy of
Drowning your children

Pre Chorus:
Words at age nine
You're on fire and fine with that!

Instrumental:

Coda:
We aren't fine with that
We aren't fine with that
We want change
We want change
We want to save
The human race

We aren't fine with that
We aren't fine with that
We want change
We want change
Save our future
Don't save face

An ENORMOUS thanks to everyone who helped to record and produce this track!

Thank you Matt for producing and editing this track - your passion and commitment to this project has both inspired me and kept me sane.

Thank you Arran for recording everything and getting the best possible sound out of each instrument and performer. I'm so glad we had you on board for the ride!

Thank you to my band mates, Cass and Bodhi for playing everything I could not. You two understood the song and shaped the identity of it into something much more than I could've imagined. Luckily, this is only the beginning.

Finally, thank you to all of my friends and family for recording and giving their voices to this cause. The reason there is such power within this song is because of you - (try and spot the different artists in the mix!)
