Good Guys

SUMMARY:

Humans have affected the planet throughout history, from Tudor deforestation and the dawn of the Industrial Revolution - can we turn it around and be the good guys?

Parody of Bad Guy by Billie Eilish

From Series 9 Episode 4 Precious Planet

LYRICS:

Our planet

We should see the signs

We're damaging

It over time

History we

Must now rewind

To undo our mistakes

​

Romans reared loads of livestock

For farming

Which released methane

From farting

Plus blacksmith forgers

Were harming

The atmosphere

​

So you're a Roman

Sounds like you had no plan

Shame you didn't know, man

But you were just the first man

​

That's pretty bad, guys

(Huh?)

​

Tudors building warships

Out of forests

They stripped the land leaving

No trees

Wasn't a blip because

It is still happening

​

So you're a Tudor

Shame you didn't think more

Taking all that wood for

Ships to go and fight wars

​

That's pretty bad, guys

(Huh?)

​

Industrial Revolution

An increase in

Air pollution

Machines built with

No solution

For our longevity

​

Black gold, life

Changed forever

Makes plastic

Degrades, like, never

And fumes that

Are not so clever

So it's time to think again

​

It's got to end now

Listen to my friend while

Great comprehends how

We can make a change now

​

Be a kind guy

Cleaning up the seas guy

Planting lots of trees guy

Power from the breeze guy

​

Let's be the good guys...
