Para celebrar a data lembro que, há 12 anos, Greg Graffin, o vocalista e líder do Bad Religion, escreveu e gravou uma música que diz tudo sobre o que precisamos fazer para manter o planeta em ordem. Isso mesmo, há 12 anos, uma década antes de as discussões sobre sustentebilidade tomarem conta dos notíciários e da pauta política internacional.
Acompanhem a letra e o vídeo de "New America":
Hhave you lost your sense of sustainability?
We are just a step away
From realizing what we strive to be
But we've got to break out
From this insulated blind and lame senility
Wake up the new america, wo-oh!
Ttranscend the mass hysteria, wo-oh!
Cchange is the thing you're wary of, wo-oh!
Wwe need a new america, wo-oh!
Laurels, human triumph,
Bestowments from the past
Victories don't mean a thing
If they don't last
Ee are just marching toward extinction
Wwith blinders on our eyes
Jeopardizing everything
We've learned and come to realize
You call that wise?
Open your eyes america, wo-oh!
Ssee through the lies they tell to us, wo-oh!
Cconfront the fears that worry us, wo-oh!
Wwe need a new america, wo-oh!
We don't have to be afraid to re-invent
We've got to start to build,
Progress, and implement
For when we take our fill,
And never pay the price
We only build ourselves a fleeting,
False paradise
You can live in staunch denial
And mark me as your enemy
But I'm just a voice among the throng
Who want a brighter destiny
They say with me
We are the new america, wo-oh!
Tthis is the new america?, wo-oh!
