Using Music… Al Gore: Today, I challenge our nation to commit to producing 100% of our electricity from renewable energy and truly clean carbon-free sources within 10 years. Calling all the leaders to lead us out the holeAsking all deceivers the things I want to know If we’re so technologicalWhy’re we still burning oil ‘Cause I got a car you plug into the wall that’s faster than a GTO We shot for the stars, put rovers on Mars, make planes like UFOs So why are we borrowin’ money from China to buy oil from the Gulf and destroyin’ the world Al Gore: Every bit of that has to change… Now that’s got to changeNow that’s got to change (Chorus x3)We’ll stand upWe’ll stand up and take our planet backYou and me We’ll stand upWe’ll stand up and take our planet back Talkin’ ‘bout we Talkin’ ‘bout we Talkin’ ‘bout Calling all the citizens(Al Gore: Citizens…)Citizens of the land Ask you your politicians(Al Gore: Political Leaders…)All these questions If we fight another war on terrorWhy aren’t we fighting for the environment We spend a billion dollars on wars in foreign landsBut nothin’ on education Nikola Tesla turned the Niagara Falls into energy way back when(Al Gore: Energy…) And we’re still burning coal(Al Gore: Coal…)When you can make electricity with solar and wind(Al Gore: Solar and wind…) Now who’s getting played?You and me And who’s getting paid? (Chorus x3)We’ll stand upWe’ll stand up and take our planet backYou and me We’ll stand upWe’ll stand up and take our planet back Talkin’ ‘bout we Talkin’ ‘bout we, we, we, we I’m askin’ all the citizens to take action(Al Gore: Citizens…)Take action and take back the governmentTell the government to start taxin’ pollutionMakin’ laws ‘cause that’s the solutionIt should be against the law to make pollutionSo if they make products that do what the other products doBut they didn’t pollute, what are you gonna choose? Al Gore:We should tax what we burn, not what we earn.To those who say the challenge is not politically viableI suggest they go before the American people and try to defend the status quoAnd then bear witness to the people’s appetite for dramatic changeThe time is now.
