"The 3 R's"
Three it's a magic numberYes it is, it's a magic number
Because two times three is sixAnd three times six is eighteen
And the eighteenth letter in the alphabet is RWe've got three R's we're going to talk about today
We've got to learn toReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, Recycle
If you're going to the market to buy some juiceYou've got to bring your own bags and you learn to reduce your waste
And if your brother or your sister's got some cool clothesYou could try them on before you buy some more of those
Reuse, we've got to learn to reuseAnd if the first two R's don't work outAnd if you've got to make some trash
Don't throw it outRecycle, we've got to learn to recycle,
We've got to learn toReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, Recycle
Because three it's a magic numberYes it is, it's a magic number
3, 3, 33, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 3633, 30, 27, 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, and
3, it's a magic number

Emergency On Planet Earth
Jamiroquai
The kids need education,And the streets are never clean,
I've seen, a certain disposition, prevailing in the wind,Sweet change, if anybody's listening?
Emergency on planet earth.Is that life that I am witnessing,Or just another wasted birth.
Now, we got emergencyOh, we got emergency on planet Earth
Now, we got emergencyOh, we got emergency on planet Earth
Think we're standing for injustice,White gets two and black gets five years,
Took me quite a while to suss this,But now I know my head is cleared
And a little boy in hungry land, is just a picture in the news,Won't see him in that TV advertising, 'cause it might put you off your food
Now, we got emergencyOh, we got emergency on planet Earth
Now, we got emergencyOh, we got emergency on planet Earth
THE DOORS
"Ship Of Fools"
The human race was dyin' out Noone left to scream and shout
People walking on the moon Smog will get you pretty soon
Everyone was hanging out Hanging up and hanging down
Hanging in and holding fast Hope our little world will last
Yeah, along came Mr. Goodtrips Looking for a new a ship
Come on, people better climb on board Come on, baby, now we're going home
Ship of fools, ship of fools The human race was dyin' out
Noone left to scream and shout People walking on the moon
Smog will get you pretty soon Ship of fools, ship of fools Ship of fools, ship of fools Ship of fools, ship of fools
[improv and fade]
The DOORS as a group were highly intellectual men. Hieronymus Bosch was Jim Morrison's favorite artist and The Ship Of Fools is one of his paintings. The painting is about humanity. How ridiculous life is and how petty we are, while our ship(life) floats aimlessly and never reaches port. I think in this song they're inviting us onto a ship we're already on, so it's completely ironic. Unless you fail to get on board the ship, then life will leave you behind.

JAMIROQUAI "When You Gonna Learn"
Yeah, yeahHave you heard the news today?
People right across the world,Are pledging they will play the game,
Victims of a modern world,Circumstance has brought us here,
Armageddon's come too near,Too, too near, now
Foresight is the only keyTo save our children's destiny,
The consequences are so graveSo, so grave, now
The hypocrites we are their slaves.So my friends to stop the endOn each other we depend,
Oh we depend.Mountain high and river deep,
Stop it going on,We gotta wake this world up from its sleep.
Oh people,Stop it going on,
Yeah, yeahHave you heard the news today?
Money's on the menu in my favourite restaurant,Now don't talk about quantity,
There's no fish let in the sea.Greedy men been killing all the life there ever was,
And you'd better play it natures way,Or she will take it all away,
Don't try and tell me you know more than her about right from wrong,Now you've upset the balance, man,
Done the only thing you can,Now my life is in your hands,
Moutain high and river deep.Oh yeah
Stop it going on,We gotta wake this world up from its sleep.
Oh people,Stop it going on,
Moutain high and river deep.Oh yeah
Stop it going on,We gotta wake this world up from its sleep.
Oh people,Stop it going on,
Greedy men will fade away,When we stop it going on,
I know it's got to be that way,Oh people,
Stop it going on,I'm asking, Oh
When you gonna learnTo stop it going on?
When you gonna learnTo stop it going on?
When you gonna learnTo stop it going on?
