For the local Schools Strike 4 Climate rally, to the tune of ‘If You’re Happy and You Know It’:
If you’re mad about the climate take a stand [clap, clap]
If you’re mad about the climate take a stand [clap, clap]
Take a stand about the climate
And the government will find it
pays to heed the anger heard across the land.

For a protest against the Wallarah 2 coal mine on the Central Coast of NSW, to the tune of ‘Battle Humn of the Republic’, aka ‘John Brown’s Body’:
Once again the government has conned us with a lie.
Coal is bloody useless when the water’s running dry!
We will protest Wallarah 2 until the day we die —
Our water’s not for sale.

For the Global Strike 4 Climate, Sep 2019, to the tune of ‘Battle Humn of the Republic’, aka ‘John Brown’s Body’:
Climate strikers know the planet’s fate is looking dire;
Governments must listen as the anger rises higher.
Now’s the time to act as if our houses are on fire,
To keep our world alive.
