Imagine
(John Lennon)
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Earth Song (Michael Jackson)
What about sunrise?
What about rain?
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain?
What about killing fields?
Is there a time?
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, these weeping shores?
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
What have we done to the world?
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son?
What about flowering fields?
Is there a time?
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, these weeping shores?
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Hey, what about yesterday?
(What about us?)
What about the seas?
(What about us?)
The heavens are falling down
(What about us?)
I can't even breathe
(What about us?)
What about apathy?
(What about us?)
I need you
(What about us?)
What about nature's worth?
(Ooh)
It's our planet's womb
(What about us?)
What about animals?
(What about it?)
We've turned kingdoms to dust
(What about us?)
What about elephants?
(What about us?)
Have we lost their trust
(What about us?)
What about crying whales?
(What about us?)
We're ravaging the seas
(What about us?)
What about forest trails?
(Ooh)
Burnt despite our pleas
(What about us?)
What about the holy land?
(What about it?)
Torn apart by creed
(What about us?)
What about the common man?
(What about us?)
Can't we set him free
(What about us?)
What about children dying?
(What about us?)
Can't you hear them cry?
(What about us?)
Where did we go wrong?
(Ooh)
Someone tell me why
(What about us?)
What about baby boy?
(What about it?)
What about the days?
(What about us?)
What about all their joy?
(What about us?)
What about the man?
(What about us?)
What about the crying man?
(What about us?)
What about Abraham?
(What about us?)
What about death again?
(Ooh)
Do we give a damn?
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Mare di Plastica (Alex Polidori)
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Una volta ho nuotato per lavarmi nel mare
Ora è da lui che mi devo lavare
Perché è fatto di lacrime, rifiuti tossici e anime
Se fossi l'eroe di un anime, userei onde energetiche
Per alimentare questo pianeta
Per riuscire a riempire la testa vuota
Di chi dice che non c'è una vera emergenza
E che ogni protesta è solo per moda
Siamo tutti colpevoli
Non esistono alibi
Pеr giustificare le nostre stronzatе
Ora prova a nuotare se ne sei capace
Siamo in un mare di plastica, un mare di guai
Siamo sommersi dall'odio online
Mastichiamo il mondo come chewing gum
Lui chiede aiuto, ma è tra i messaggi spam
Questo non è un film
Non ci salvano i supereroi
E prova a svegliarti, ora è già tardi
Non esiste "Poi"
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Abbiamo insegnato al mondo a fumare
E adesso un polmone che brucia
Ai miei figli insegnerò il rispetto per la natura
Oltra a chiedere scusa
E chissà se la tecnologia potrà trasformarel petrolio in acqua potabile
Sai quanta ricchezza se le polemiche sterili fossero energia rinnovabile
E non serve un oracolo
Per conoscere il futuro
Serve solo un miracolo
Perché ci sia un futuro
Siamo in un mare di plastica, un mare di guai
Siamo sommersi dall'odio online
Mastichiamo il mondo come chewing gum
Lui chiede aiuto, ma è tra i messaggi spam
Questo non è un film
Non ci salvano i supereroi
E prova a svegliarti, ora è già tardi
Non esiste "Poi"
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Non esiste "Poi"
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Non voglio sentire ragioni, qua l'aria è viziata
Ma non è colpa dei suoi genitori
Ci sono nuove stagioni
Ma non è una serie, noi non siamo attori
Basta provare a fare dei piccoli gesti
Voglio specchiarmi in mare e vedere i riflessi
Limpidi come i ricordi, nitidi come quegli occhi lucidi
Di un bimbo che grida: "Si può cambiare"
Siamo in un mare di plastica, un mare di guai
Siamo sommersi dall'odio online
Mastichiamo il mondo come chewing gum
Lui chiede aiuto, ma è tra i messaggi spam
Questo non è un film
Non ci salvano i supereroi
E prova a svegliarti, ora è già tardi
Non esiste "Poi"
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Non esiste "Poi"
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Non esiste "Poi"
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Non esiste "Poi"
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Durum-durum-dum-durum-durum
Questo non è un film
Non ci salvano i supereroi
Prova a svegliarti, anche se è tardi
Non esiste "Poi"
Un mondo migliore (Vasco Rossi)
Non è facile pensare di andar via
E portarsi dietro la malinconia
Non è facile partire e poi morire
Per rinascere in un'altra situazione
Un mondo migliore
Non è facile pensare di cambiare
Le abitudini di tutta una stagione
Di una vita che è passata come un lampo
E che fila dritta verso la stazione
Di un mondo migliore
E un mondo migliore
Sai, essere libero
Costa soltanto
Qualche rimpianto
Sì, tutto è possibile
Perfino credere
Che possa esistere
Un mondo migliore
Un mondo migliore
Un mondo migliore
Un mondo migliore
Non è facile trovarsi su una strada
Quando passa la necessità di andare
Quando è ora, è ora, è ora di partire
E non puoi, non puoi, non puoi più rimandare
Il mondo migliore
Un mondo migliore
Sai, essere libero
Costa soltanto
Qualche rimpianto
Sì, tutto è possibile
Perfino credere
Che possa esistere
Un mondo migliore
Un mondo migliore
Un mondo migliore
Un mondo migliore
Big Yellow Taxi (Joni Mitchell)
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop, ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)
They took all the trees put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar an' a half just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop, ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)
Hey farmer, farmer put away that DDT now
Give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees
Please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop, ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)
Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)
I said don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)
They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot
Go to the Woods (Dar Williams)
Rambling and rambling, rambling and rambling
It's the woods! What do you see?
In all the spooky shadows, in the forest of green
Is there a windy path, angry ass woman who will eat you?
Sad-eyed lumberjack, savior who will greet you?
It's a different story for you and for me
Go to the woods and see
Out in the storybook land are many leagues of the wild
Wise and uncontainable as a windy-haired child
There are the youth truth movements and they're springing from the ground
Freak flag wavers and you cannot chop them down
Hey, it's the home of the brave, you'll get the threat of the free
Go to the woods and see
Are you afraid of the woods?
Are you afraid of the woods?
And if I was your memory, what would you do?
'Cause you know if you go back in time there's something waiting for you
You've got your forest path, reading, math, dappling of shade
You can just admit it, there's a promise that you made
And you can't have the past back, but you can hold me
Go to the woods and see
I am afraid of the woods
I am afraid of the woods
But what I fear more, what I fear most
More than the man, the beast, or the ghost
Is that the woods are disappearing
So when I go back, when I finally dare
You know the woods'll be gone
You know they just won't be there
Rambling and rambling, rambling and rambling
Questa E’ La Mia Casa (Jovanotti)
O signore dell'universo
Ascolta questo figlio disperso
Che ha perso il filo e non sa dov'è
E che non sa neanche più parlare con te
Ho un cristo che pende sopra il mio cuscino
E un buddha sereno sopra il comodino
Conosco a memoria il cantico delle creature
Grandissimo rispetto per le mille sure
Del corano see'ho pure un talismano
Che me l'ha regalato un mio fratello africano
E io lo so che tu da qualche parte ti riveli
Che non sei solamente chiuso dietro ai cieli
E nelle rappresentazioni umane di te
A volte io ti vedo in tutto quello che see'è
E giro per il mondo tra I miei alti e bassi
E come pollicino lascio indietro dei sassi sui miei passi
Per non dimenticare la strada che ho percorso fino ad arrivare qua
E ora dove si va adesso
Si riparte per un'altra città
Voglio andare a casa la casa dov'e'
La casa dove posso stare
Io voglio andare a casa la casa dov'e'
La casa dove posso stare con pace con te
O signore dei viaggiatori
Ascolta questo figlio immerso nei colori
Che crede che la luce sia sempre una sola
Che si distende sulle cose e le colora
Di rosso di blu di giallo di vita
Dalle tonalità di varietà infinita
Ascoltami proteggimi
Ed il cammino quando è buio illuminami
Sono qua in giro per la città
E provo con impegno a interpretare la realtà
Cercando il lato buono delle cose
Cercandoti in zone pericolose
Ai margini di ciò che è convenzione
Di ciò che è conformismo di ogni moralismo yeahhh
E il mondo mi somiglia nelle sue contraddizioni
Mi specchio nelle situazioni
E poi ti prego di rivelarti sempre in ciò che vedo
Io so che tu mi ascolti anche se a volte non ci credo
Voglio andare a casa la casa dov'e'
La casa dove posso stare
Io voglio andare a casa la casa dov'e'
La casa dove posso stare con pace con te
O signore della mattina che bussa sulle palpebre quando mi sveglio
Mi giro e mi rigiro sopra il mio giaciglio
E poi faccio entrare il mondo dentro me
E dentro al mondo entro fino a notte
Barriere confini paure serrature
Cancelli dogane e facce scure
Sono arrivato qua attraverso mille incroci
Di uomini di donne di occhi e di voci
Il gallo che canta e la città si sveglia
Ed un pensiero vola giù alla mia famiglia
E poi si allarga fino al mondo intero
E poi su vola alto fino al cielo
Il sole la luna e marte e giove
Saturno coi suoi anelli e poi le stelle nuove
E quelle anziane piene di memoria
Che con la loro luce hanno fatto la storia
Gloria a tutta l'energia che see'è nell'aria
Questa è la mia casa la casa dov'e'
La casa dove posso portar pace
Io voglio andare a casa la casa dov'e'
Questa è la mia casa la casa dov'e'
La casa dove posso stare in pace con te
(Nothing But) Flowers
(Talking Heads)
Here we stand
Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls
The Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it's nothing but flowers
There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
You got it, you got it
We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
We got it, we got it
There was a shopping mall
Now it's all covered with flowers
You've got it, you've got it
If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
You've got it, you've got it
Years ago
I was an angry young man
And I'd pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With a beautiful highway
This used to be real estate
Now it's only fields and trees
Where, where is the town
Now, it's nothing but flowers
The highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we'd start over
But I guess I was wrong
Once there were parking lots
Now it's a peaceful oasis
You've got it, you've got it
This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
You got it, you got it
I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
You got it, you got it
And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
You got it, you got it
I dream of cherry pies,
Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
You got it, you got it
We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
You got it, you got it
This was a discount store,
Now it's turned into a cornfield
You've got it, you've got it
Don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle

Sun is shining...
Sing for the climate (Just Earth)
We need to wake up
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
We need to wake up
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
What A Wonderful World
(Louis Armstrong)
I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying
I love you
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Ooh, yes
Don’t Go Near The Water
(The Beach Boys)
Don't go near the water
Don't you think it's sad
What's happened to the water
Our water's going bad
Oceans, rivers, lakes and streams
Have all been touched by man
The poison floating out to sea
Now threatens life on land
Don't go near the water
Ain't it sad
What's happened to the water
It's going bad
Don't go near the water
Don't go near the water
Toothpaste and soap will make our oceans a bubble bath
So let's avoid an ecological aftermath
Beginning with me
Beginning with you
Don't go near the water
To do it any wrong
To be cool with the water
Is the message of this song
Let's all help the water
Right away
Do what we can and ought to
Let's start today
Mal Di Terra (Giorgia)
Benvenuti in questa età
Dove tutto è lecito
E la terra supplica pietà
Al nostro sguardo gelido
Mi ricordo il mare era trasparente
E mi ricordo bene che non mancava niente
E mi ricordo che bastava alzare il viso
Per un sorriso
Soldi, potere, plastica, rumore
Soldi, potere, plastica, rumore
Benvenuti in questa età
Qui si vende l'anima
E anche l'acqua supplica pietà
Al nostro cuore sterile
Mi ricordo il mare era trasparente
E mi ricordo bene che non mancava niente
E mi ricordo che bastava alzare il viso
Per un sorriso
Soldi, potere, plastica, rumore
Soldi, potere, plastica, rumore
Religione, potere, guerra, dolore
Guarda quanto è piccolo il mondo
Così pieno del nostro scempio
Mentre siamo presi a consumare tutto quello che ha valore
Vale la pena vale la terra
E salvare quello che ora resta
Di tanta bellezza e tanto candore
Solo rumore
Mi ricordo il mare era trasparente
E mi ricordo bene che non mancava niente
E mi ricordo che bastava alzare il viso
Mi ricordo il mare era trasparente
E mi ricordo bene che non mancava niente
E mi ricordo che bastava alzare il viso
Per un sorriso
Soldi, potere, plastica, rumore
Soldi, potere, plastica, rumore
Sesso, potere, politica, clamore
Acqua, aria, terra, fuoco
Religione, potere, guerra, dolore
Acqua, aria, terra, fuoco
Despite Repeated Warnings
(Paul McCartney)
Despite repeated warnings
Our danger's up ahead
The captain won't be listening
To what's been said
It feels that there's a good chance
That we have been misled
And so the captain's planning
To steam ahead
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do to stop
This foolish plan going through
What can we do?
What can we do?
This band is 'bout to lose his ship and his crew
Despite repeated warnings
From those who are to know
Well, he's got his own agenda
And so he'll go
Those who shout the loudest
(What can we do?)
Will not always be the smartest
(What can we do?)
But they have their proudest moments
Right before they fall
(What can we do?)
Red sky in morning
(What can we do?)
Doesn't ever seem to faze him
(What can we do?)
But a sailor's warning signal
Should concern us all
How can we stop him?
Grab the keys and lock him up
If we can do it, we can save the day
He engineered us with his wife and daughter Janet
But he misses them so
Although he's working with the best crew on the planet
(The best crew!)
We'll never want him to go
He had a premonition
He said that something's wrong
And by his own admission
He knew it all along
The captain's crazy but he doesn't let them know it
He'll take us with him if we don't do something soon to slow it
How can we stop him?
Grab the keys and lock him up
If we can do it, we can save the day
No brakes, the engineer cries
The captain's gonna leave us when the temperatures rise
The needle's going up, the engine's gonna blow
And we are gonna be left down down below
Down below
Yes we can do it
Yeah, we can do it now
Yes we can do it
Yes we can do it
Yeah, we can do it now
Yes we can do it
Yeah, we can do it now
Yes we can do it
Yeah, we can do it now
Oh yeah
If life would work out the way he planned it
Then that'd be so fine for the wife and Janet
Sometimes you might have to battle through it
And that's the way he learned
How he got to do it
Yes we can do, woah, woah
Yes, we can do it, woah, woah
Yes we can do it, woah, woah
Yes, we can do it, woah, woah
Despite repeated warnings
Our danger's up ahead
Well the captain wasn't listening
To what was said
So we went to the captain
(Will not always be the smartest)
And told him to turn around
(But they have their proudest moment)
But he laughs in our faces
(Right before they fall)
Says we are mistaken
(Red sky in the morning)
So we gather around him
(Doesn't seem to faze him)
Now the thoughts that we have bound him
(But a sailor's warning signal)
Are that we should have listened
(Should concern us all)
To the will of the people
It's the will of the people
It's the will of the people
Truth To Power (OneRepublic)
I could tell you I was fragile
I could tell you I was weak
I could write you out a letter
To tell you anything you need
I've seen minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to years
And I've seen truth turn to power
If you could see me the way I see you
If you could feel me the way I feel you
You'd be a believer
You'd be a believer
Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to years
And I've seen truth turn to power
I could tell you I was ageless
But I know you see the light
I could tell you I'm immune to everything
But that's a lie
Dust don't turn to flowers
Skies don't disappear
But I've seen truth to power
Oh, if you could see me the way I see you
If you could feel me the way I feel you
You'd be a believer (believer)
You'd be a believer (believer)
You'd be a believer (believer)
You'd be a believer (believer)
Hard to keep goin' on (hard to keep goin' on)
I said it's hard to keep goin' on (hard to keep goin' on)
It's hard to keep goin' on (hard to keep goin' on)
If you could see me the way I see you
If you could feel me the way I feel you
You'd be a believer
You'd be a believer
You'd be a believer
Be a believer
Be a believer (believer)
You'd be (be a believer)
Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to years
And I've seen truth turn to power
Mother Earth (Natural Anthem) (Neil Young)
Oh, Mother Earth
With your fields of green
Once more laid down
By the hungry hand
How long can you
Give and not receive
And feed this world
Ruled by greed
And feed this world
Ruled by greed
Oh, ball of fire
In the summer sky
Your healing light
Your parade of days
Are they betrayed
By the men of power
Who hold this world
In their changing hands
They hold the world
In their changing hands
Oh, freedom land
Can you let this go
Down to the streets
Where the numbers grow
Respect Mother Earth
And her giving ways
Or trade away
Our children's days
Or trade away
Our children's days
Respect Mother Earth
And her giving ways
Or trade away
Our children's days
Blowin’ In The Wind (Bob Dylan)
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
And how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Peace on Earth
(U2)
Heaven on Earth
We need it now
I'm sick of all of this
Hanging around
Sick of sorrow
Sick of the pain
Sick of hearing
Again and again
That there's gonna be
Peace on Earth
Where I grew up
There weren't many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies
They say that what you mock
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you
It's already gone too far
Who said that if you go in hard
You won't get hurt
Jesus, can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line?
Peace on Earth
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
No whos or whys
No-one cries like a mother cries
For peace on Earth
She never got to say goodbye
To see the colour in his eyes
Now he's in the dirt
Peace on Earth
They're reading names out
Over the radio
All the folks, the rest of us
Won't get to know
Sean and Julia
Gareth, Ann and Breda
Their lives are bigger than
Any big idea
Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
To tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
Jesus in the song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on Earth
Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history won't rhyme
