S.O.S.
will.i.am Lyrics

Lord come down and help us out
Asking a higher power to intervene and save us from the world we have created

Send us an angel, help us out
Desperately calling for heavenly beings to deliver us from the destruction of the environment

SOS, help us out
A plea for help and rescue as we face the consequences of our actions

Looking all around and I'm watching the world
Observing the disastrous effects we have caused on the planet

People killing, people dying, people lying, people blind
People causing harm by ignoring the damage they cause to the environment

People don't see the sign, watching money all the time
People are blind to the signs of environmental collapse because they are obsessed with gaining financial wealth

Get the pennies, get the dimes, get the dollars is the mindstate
Money is the primary motivator in the minds of individuals, even at the cost of environmental sustainability

Of the human race, people on the paper chase
All humans are chasing financial wealth without regard for the well-being of the planet

The environment is fragile, and we been on the gradual
The environment is delicate and human actions are gradually destroying it

Declining in a lifetime or lose the battle
If we don't act fast and make changes now, we will reach a point of no return in our environmental degradation

Get burned by volcanoes, get blown by tornadoes
Natural disasters are becoming increasingly violent and frequent due to the damage caused by humans to the environment

Cause mother nature signals, is trying to warn NATO
The changing environment is trying to warn us and NATO of the dangers of climate change

We got a new terror threat, it's called the weather
The weather is becoming a larger threat to humanity than any terrorism

More deadlier than chemical and nuclear together
The destruction caused by the changing weather patterns and the effects of climate change is far worse than any chemical or nuclear disaster

It's hotter in the winter, even hotter in the summer
The change in global temperatures is evident and is causing havoc to the climate and environment

Jesus, or Buddha, somebody come and help us out
A call for any higher power or being to rescue us from the environmental issues we are causing

People trapped behind the gates, ignorance in their state of mind
People are confined by their ignorance and are causing irreparable harm to the environment

Cause they formulate a plan just to penetrate us
A conspiracy theorist approach to the corporate plan to produce and sell products with no regard for the environment

You see they stimulate us with fear, manipulate us
The media and corporations manipulate and create fear so that people continue to buy their products and ignore the environmental damage they cause

Each year, they dominate dividing us like calculators
Corporations use tactics to divide humanity and dominate the economic structure by blindly buying products that are environmentally harmful

And here they come choppering down, chopping down our rainforest
Corporations continue to destroy the environment without regard for the long-term consequences

F**king up our air for us, they don't really care for us
Corporations continue to cause environmental harm without any care for the negative effects it has on people and the planet

But we can't complain, because the only one to blame is us
The cause of the environmental collapse is the fault of our own as individuals for continuing to support products that are harmful to the planet

The gas is rising up but we keep on filling up
Despite the clear effect fossil fuels have on the environment, people continue to consume excessively without considering the long-term consequences

CO2 levels got the whole planet heated up
The overwhelming amount of CO2 being released into our atmosphere is having major consequences on the environment and global temperatures

Mohammed, Jehovah, somebody come and help us out
Another plea to a higher power to save us from the environmental collapse we have caused

Looks like we ain't gon' figure it out
Despite the knowledge of the environmental issues we face, there is no active implementation of measures to solve them

The world is ending
The current trajectory of our environmental impact will lead to the end of the world if we don't take action and change our ways

And if they say it's gonna be okay, they just pretending
Anyone propagating a sense that everything is going to be okay is lying because the damage we have caused is irreversible

When the eskimo gets bit by a mosquito, Somebody in Miami will get swept by a tsunami
The worldwide effects of climate change present themselves in unexpected ways, highlighting how the issue is global and not limited to certain parts of the world

Rastas in Jamaica will get hit by a quake that Registers something like 8.8
Diverse communities face the consequences of environmental degradation in unprecedented ways

You see it's situations happening with our planet, Cause, 50 years ago we took it for granted
The inadvertent damage to the environment caused by human action is a consequence of neglect and failure to address the problems caused

We should have took advantage, and reversed the damage
We should have taken action before we caused irreversible environmental damage

Instead of just pumping and selling and slanging the gas
The overconsumption of finite resources has led the current level of environmental degradation

And while we purchased the gas, We was watching soap operas while they steady brainwashed the masses
The media and corporations kept people complacent and unaware of the environmental damage caused by overconsumption

Cause we could make a vehicle that runs off ashes
Renewable energy alternatives are an option to reduce environmental harm

But they own a patent for that, and that's exactly what's happening
Corporations have monopolies over certain environmentally friendly alternatives, which inhibits the transition to a sustainable world

Corruption and bullshit politics, The planet's gonna die cause of bullshit politics
Politics and corruption inhibit the needed transition to reduce environmental impact

And ain't nobody coming to the rescue to help the (The world)
We need to hold ourselves accountable and take action to solve the environmental issues we face

Looking all around watching the world
The continuing observation of the worsening global situation

(The world)
The current state of the world as a result of human action and overconsumption
