It raises awareness about why we should be obligated to stop it. It says what pollution is doing to our world and sends a positive message about how we could make a change. It talks about a of better time in our world where pollution wasn’t killing us and there were less problems in society. The song advocates to bring back this time of peace and happiness. We wish that after people hear our song, they will feel obligated to try and change their habits of producing waste and causing pollution in order to make the world a better place. They will hopefully be motivated to advocate for a change in our society. Our song provides a positive message of change and we hope our audience will receive that. In order to put together our song, we first learned to play the original song with the music playing in the background. We studied the lyrics and what they meant to try to change the lyrics to portray our message in stopping pollution and waste. Everyone contributed to making the song by writing new lyrics to let our message show through. We also each played all of the song together to make it sound professional and to produce our group’s highest quality work. | New Lyrics By Group 1 Verse: I had a dream that the world was different No more pollution, no more wars, and nothing killing the children You weren’t judged for your inhibitions or differences And when you had a problem someone would sit down and fix it There wasn’t anything wrong with the atmosphere No cars and no buses putting smoke into the air Those extra chemicals were never necessary And you would never have a problem with money and savings I told my mom tears rushing down my face. She said all of this pollution’s gonna kill the human race. Bunch of thoughts and theories all in my head. A preconcieved idea of what it all meant. Fossil fuels coal oil and natural gas (yo) America the brave still fears what it don’t know Chorus: And we can change If we just try Try to (2x) Try to stop pollution It hurts the earth It hurts the earth Original Lyrics By Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (feat. Mary Lambert) Verse: When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay, 'Cause I could draw, my uncle was, and I kept my room straight. I told my mom, tears rushing down my face She's like "Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k." Yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she? Bunch of stereotypes all in my head. I remember doing the math like, "Yeah, I'm good at little league." A preconceived idea of what it all meant For those that liked the same sex, had the characteristics The right wing conservatives think it's a decision And you can be cured with some treatment and religion Man-made rewiring of a predisposition Playing God, aw nah here we go America the brave still fears what we don't know And "God loves all his children" is somehow forgotten But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago Chorus: And I can't change Even if I tried Even if I wanted to And I can't change Even if I tried Even if I wanted to My love, my love, my love She keeps me warm |
