[Bully in the Alley](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS5xR7jBxDw)
------------------

(Chorus) Hell no Black Rock we don’t want your pipelines  
**Way hey we don’t want your pipelines**  
Hell no Black Rock we don’t want your pipelines  
**Put em where the sun don’t shine**  

We’ve got wind and we’ve got solar  
**Way hey, we don’t want your pipelines**  
leave the oil and leave the coal or  
**Put it where the sun don’t shine**  

Toxic crap is all you sell us  
**Way hey we don’t want your pipelines**  
Clean coal and clean gas you tell us   
**Put it where the sun don’t shine**  

You use lies to clear invasions  
**Way hey we don’t want your pipelines**  
Killing all but rich caucasians  
**Put em where the sun don’t shine**  

We declare a climate crisis  
**Way hey we don’t want your pipelines**  
More will die from this than Isis  
**Put it where the sun don’t shine**

We’d be all right with the sun to light our way (3x)  
If the oil stayed in the ground   

(Chorus)  
And we'll **blow** the ol' planet earth alarm   
And we'll **blow** the ol' planet earth alarm   
And we'll **blow** the ol' planet earth alarm  
For Extinction Rebellion  

We’d be all right with the wind to run our tools (3x)  
If the oil stayed in the ground  

We’d be all right if all plastics were outlawed (3x)  
and the oil stayed in the ground  

An ending to big oil wouldn’t do us any harm (3x)  
We say keep it in the ground

[Digging Us a Hole](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39_b1yEy0sM)

They are digging us a hole  
Digging us a hole  
Six feet underground where the pipeline will go  
They are digging us a hole  
Digging us a hole  
Six feet underground where the future will go  

The oil man is selling out our future  
The bankman, the congressman, too  
But our lives are not for sale  
And their lies will not prevail  
We will stand up and fight for what is true

They are digging us a hole  
They are digging us a hole  
Six feet underground where the pipeline will go  
They are digging us a hole  
They are digging us a hole  
Six feet underground where the future will go  
We will lay down our bodies  
We will lay down our souls  
No we won't stand by and watch  
While they dig us a hole

We will lay down in front of your bulldozers  
We will lay down on the frontlines  
We will lay down for the children  
Victims of the system  
We will never lay down and die

They are digging us a hole  
They are digging us a hole  
Six feet underground where the pipeline will go

One by one, we will fight til this is done  
Two by two, we won't listen to these fools  
Ten by ten, we will stand hand in hand  
One thousand here, we don't have any fear  
10,000 sing, while the justice bell it rings  
One million won't step back, we will stop this in it's tracks

We will lay down our bodies  
We will lay down our souls  
No we won't stand by and watch   
While they dig us a hole

Amazing Waste
=================
Words by Gabriel Robinson
------------

Amazing waste, how high the mound  
of bodies from the sea  
Right wales, monk seals, and albatross,  
Blue fin and manatee  

The sea she gave us everything  
and more than what we need  
We killed her fish with toxic blooms  
to make our lawns look green 

It took ten thousand years or more   
to grow the coral reefs  
Now half are dead, the rest will die  
With more acidity
  
Amazing waste, how hurt the heart  
To see your creatures go   
Walrus, penguin, and polar bear   
Our kids may never know

Tis carbon fuels our factories   
And makes our cars to go  
When carbon kills off everything  
Will we say we did not know?

Amazing waste, how cruel the sight  
Of bodies from the sea  
Blue wales, fin wales, and killer wales  
We would not stop for thee
  
Our plastic fills your bodies now  
You cannot choke it down  
But plastic can’t replace the world  
Without the sea we drown

To fill this awful emptiness  
And halt this dreadful waste  
Rebel, rebel the time is now  
Restore the ocean’s grace  
Rebel, rebel we must act now   
To save the human race

[The Earth, She Is Not Property](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRBYHKDTSuU&feature=youtu.be)
=================
The earth, she is not property  
The earth, she is alive  
The earth, she is not property  
The earth, she is alive  

And we don’t own the land no  
We don’t own the water   
We don’t own the air no  
We don’t own the fire

People gonna rise like the water  
Gonna calm this crisis down

I hear the voice of my great granddaughter  
Singing keep it in the ground

[Do It Now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGgBtHoIO4g)
=================
We need to wise up  
We need to open our eyes   
And do it now now now   
We need to build a better future   
And we need to start right now

We’re on a planet   
That has a problem   
We’ve got to solve it, get involved   
And do it now now now   
We need to build a better future  
And we need to start right now

Make it greener   
Make it cleaner  
Make it last, make it fast   
and do it now now now   
We need to build a better future   
And we need to start right now

No point in waiting  
Or hesitating  
We must get wise, take no more lies  
And do it now now now  
We need to build a better future  
And we need to start right now
