about
50% OF ALL PROCEEDS from this track are donated to Literacy For Environmental Justice.
The mission of Literacy for Environmental Justice is to foster an understanding of the principles of environmental justice and urban sustainability in our young people in order to promote the long-term health of our communities.
They provide paid internships to Bayview Hunters Point youth in environmental health, natural ecology, and food security, and offer free hands-on environmental educational programs to schools, colleges and youth programs.
There are many working definitions of environmental justice, and all of them are accurate. For the sake of simplicity, they say that environmental justice is the right of all people to have equal access to their basic needs. This includes safe energy, healthy food, clean air and water, open space, non-toxic communities, and equitable educational and employment opportunities. At LEJ, we see these things as basic human rights.

LYRICS
Well I think if truth be told
You’d rather fight than go
There is no life worth gold
Stand and find your soul
But I cannot say
Is while the world burns down
Why are you walking away
This is all you see I know
But you can't take it with you when you go
This life’s lessons of old
These things I have been shown
But what I cannot say
As the world Burns down
Why are you walking away
They’ve taken all they need
Ignored our warnings indeed
They strike the match to see
The fires rage in our streets
But what I cannot say
Is as the world Burns down
You see them walking away
As the world Burns down
You see them walking away
