Berlin-based father and son electronic music duo, Cosmo and the Cosmonaut, will release their debut album, Ultra Mega, in August 2019.
Their first single, The World is Burning, addresses the issue of climate change through the eyes of a seven year old and features the voice of fifteen year old climate activist Greta Thunberg.
LYRICS
I’m only seven years old and I’m just a kid
But it’s clear in my mind that we must forbid
The burning of fossil fuels, it’s causing climate change
So please tell me why we can’t arrange
Clean, green energy for the whole earth
It’ll cost lots of money but surely it’s worth
To save us people, the animals and the planet
I think it’s high time that we demand it
Come on people, we must do something
Come on people the time is now
Come on people the world is burning
Come on people let’s work it out
The weather is changing and it’s easy to see
Even for a kid as young as me
The summers are hotter than ever before
In winter there’s no longer snow outside my door
So politicians stop clowning around!
There’s no question, the science is sound
Make the changes before it’s too late
Otherwise you will have sealed our fate
Come on people, we must do something
Come on people the time is now
Come on people the world is burning
Cosmo on people let’s work it out
Come on people
Come on people, we must do something
Come on people the time is now
Come on people the ice is melting
Cosmo on people let’s work it out
Come on people, we must do something
Come on people the time is now
Come on people the ice is melting
Cosmo on people let’s work it out
Come on people
