[Intro: Driving funk bass with flamenco guitar flourishes]
(Handclaps building)
Listen up! Listen up!
The earth is crying out!
[Verse 1]
They sold our mother for a dollar sign
Corporate vultures feast on what was mine
Forests falling, creatures dying in the night
But I got fire burning, gonna make this right
Money talks, well I'm learning how to scream
Every dollar that I earn feeds the dream
Buy it back, piece by piece, acre by acre
Turn the tables on every planet breaker!
[Pre-Chorus: Building intensity]
(Palmas intensifying)
I got rage in my veins
I got love in my soul
For every beast in chains
Every tree they stole!
[Chorus: Full arrangement with horn stabs]
WE'RE GONNA BUY THIS PLANET BACK!
Tear down the system, stay on track
For the wolves, for the trees, for the air we breathe
WE'RE GONNA BUY THIS PLANET BACK!
(Yeah!) Liberation is what we lack
Every dollar, every fight, gonna make it right!
[Inst: Wild flamenco guitar solo with funk rhythm]
[Verse 2]
They got us working for their machine
While the oceans turn from blue to green
Animals caged, humans enslaved to their greed
But revolution starts with planting the seed
I see the suffering in every eye
Mother Earth beneath a poisoned sky
So I hustle hard, stack that paper high
Gonna purchase freedom, watch the tyrants cry!
[Pre-Chorus]
(Building with percussion)
I got rage in my veins
I got love in my soul
For every beast in chains
Every tree they stole!
[Chorus]
WE'RE GONNA BUY THIS PLANET BACK!
Tear down the system, stay on track
For the wolves, for the trees, for the air we breathe
WE'RE GONNA BUY THIS PLANET BACK!
(Yeah!) Liberation is what we lack
Every dollar, every fight, gonna make it right!
[Bridge: Breakdown with vocals and handclaps]
(Stripped down to handclaps and bass)
Money ain't evil when it serves the light
When it frees the captive, makes the wrong things right
Every living being deserves to be free
From the corporate chains of this economy
(Building back up)
So I grind, and I climb...
[Chorus: Final explosive delivery]
WE'RE GONNA BUY THIS PLANET BACK!
Tear down the system, stay on track
For the wolves, for the trees, for the air we breathe
WE'RE GONNA BUY THIS PLANET BACK!
(Yeah!) Liberation is what we lack
Every dollar, every fight, gonna make it right!
