Songs

This song was originally written in March 2020 when Sussex2030 met for the first time, on Zoom. We tried to sing it together on Zoom, but it didn't allow more than one of us to sing or speak at one time.

Since then, we learned about the County's land use process and changed the lyrics slightly.

Where have all the forests gone?

Short time passing

Where have all the meadows gone?  

Short time ago

Where have all the animals gone?

Sussex has no room for them

When will they ever learn?

When will we ever learn? 

What's happened to waters clear?

Short time passing

Why can't we swim in the bay?

Short time ago

What’s with Inland Bays’ report?

   Is a ‘D’ all we can do?

When will they ever learn?

When will we ever learn?  

 What's happened to country roads?

Short time passing

Why are streets big parking lots?

Short time ago

What’s with houses everywhere?  

  Ask the Council to end it all

When will they ever learn?

When will we ever learn? 

So, what are you gonna do?

Ten years before you

Will you sit and groan and moan?  

No, that's not us

We know we can bring our dream

  Together we make Sussex home

We'll learn how we get there

We'll do what we can do

Irresponsible, that’s what you are.

Irresponsible, both near and far.

Clearing wetlands and the forest wood.

So much damage, just because you could.

Think of the harm, you’ve caused everyone.

Irresponsible, in every way

Irresponsible, please change your displays

Good land stewards, assuredly you are not

No matter how you spin your cluster **beep**

That is why you’re irresponsible you
