We're Berlin-based father and son electronic rap duo, Cosmo (aged 8) and the Cosmonaut (>40), and we wanted to do something about climate change so we wrote this song.
We were very much inspired by the actions of teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg and her voice features throughout our track.
As well as showcasing some cool animals and people dancing, it is an appeal to everybody to join together and tackle the climate emergency before it's too late.
Featuring footage from Extinction Rebellion, Standing Rock and 4Ocean, The World of Burning is also our way of giving respect to the people standing up and fighting for the environment and urges everyone else to do the same.
Our debut album is called Ultra Mega and comes out on August 16th, 2019.
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
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
