This is perhaps the worst song I’ve heard since the Mo Bama song. Music has truly descended into the cultural depths never ventured by previous generations. This is not art, rather its propaganda complied by the biggest names in the Pop/Rap music and whomever Lil Dicky is. The song is a call for action to stop climate change but is perhaps the least compelling argument for action I’ve ever seen. If this is what planet earth, sign us up for SpaceX trip to Mars.
One sign of trash music is autotune, because talented musicians never use autotune. But the only compelling reason this song offer for saving the earth is imminent danger that prevents male ejaculation and female orgasms. But the premise of the song is a lie. Human are not threatened by climate change. Forest fires in California result from poor forestry management. Warmer weather has historically been a net gain for almost every civilization in human history. It means increased yields in agriculture. The song is also not premised in real chronology. America is the leading nation reducing emissions despite not participating in the Paris Climate Accords. China and India, the two nations specifically called out in a superficially endearing way, are the leading polluters. The ocean garbage we hear about is not from America. And the Paris Climate Accords wanted to give them money. These celebrities joined forces to shame people who are not threatened by that which cannot kill us is yet. The song celebrates debauchery.
The lyrics read as though written by a middle schooler after sex ed class. “Earth” is trash and Lil Dicky is untalented. I’ve posted the lyrics so that you do not simply take my word for it.
Lyrics
[Intro: Lil Dicky ]
What up, world? It’s your boy, just one of the guys down here. Well, I could be more specific. Uh, I’m a human, and I just wanted to, for the sake of all of us earthlings out there, just wanted to say:
[Chorus]
We love the Earth, it is our planet
We love the Earth, it is our home
We love the Earth, it is our planet
We love the Earth, it is our home
[Justin Bieber]
Hi, I’m a baboon
I’m like a man, just less advanced and my anus is huge
[Ariana Grande]
Hey, I’m a zebra
No one knows what I do, but I look pretty cool
Am I white or black?
[Halsey]
I’m a lion cub, and I’m always getting licked (Meow!)
[Zac Brown]
How’s it going? I’m a cow (Moo!)
You drink milk from my tits (Moo)
[Brendon Urie]
I’m a fat, fucking pig
[Hailee Steinfeld]
I’m a common fungus
[Wiz Khalifa]
I’m a disgruntled skunk, shoot you out my butthole
[Snoop Dogg]
I’m a marijuana plant, I can get you fucked up
[Kevin Hart]
And I’m Kanye West
[Chorus]
We love the Earth, it is our planet
We love the Earth, it is our home
We love the Earth, it is our planet
We love the Earth, it is our home
We love the Earth
[Adam Levine]
Ba-dum-da-dum-dum, ba-dum-da-di
We are the vultures, feed on the dead
[Shawn Mendes]
We’re just some rhinos, horny as heck
[Charlie Puth]
I’m just a giraffe, what’s with this neck?
[Sia]
Hippity-hop, I’m a kangaroo
I hop all day, up and down with you
[Miley Cyrus]
I’m an elephant, I got junk in my trunk
[Lil Jon]
What the fuck? I’m a clam!
[Rita Ora]
I’m a wolf. Howl!
[Miguel]
I’m a squirrel, lookin’ for my next nut
[Katy Perry]
And I’m a pony, just a freak horse, heh-heh-heh
But, uh, c’mon, get on (Yah)
Giddee-up, let’s ride
[Lil Yachty]
I’m HPV, don’t let me in
[Ed Sheeran]

So what? It’s cute
[Meghan Trainor]
We love you, India
[Joel Embiid]
We love you, Africa
[Tory Lanez]
We love the Chinese
[ Lil Dicky ]
We forgive you, Germany
[Chorus: Lil Dicky, (Snoop Dogg), Meghan Trainor, Lil Dicky & Sia, John Legend]
Earth, it is our planet (It’s our planet)
We love the Earth (We love the Earth), it is our home (Home)
We love the Earth, it is our planet (It is our planet)
We love the Earth, it is our home
We love the Earth
[Verse 3: Lil Dicky ]
I’m a man (Hello?)
Can you hear me? (Anyone out there? Hello?)
I’ve trudged the Earth for so damn long
And still don’t know shit (What’s going on?)
I hope it’s not a simulation (Huh)
Give each other names like Ahmed and Pedro
And, yeah, we like to wear clothes, girls still look beautiful
And it covers up our human dick (Woo), eat a lot of tuna fish
But these days, it’s like we don’t know how to act
All these shootings, pollution, we under attack on ourselves
Like, let’s all just chill (Hey), respect what we built (Hey)
Like look at the internet! It’s cracking as hell
Fellas, don’t you love the cum when you have sex? (Ayy)
And I heard women orgasms are better than a dick (Uh)
So what we got this land for? What we gotta stand for?
Love, and we love the Earth (The Earth)
[Ariana Grande]
Oh, yeah, baby, I love the Earth
I love this planet
[ Lil Dicky ]
Hey, Russia, we’re cool
Hey, Asia, all of you, c’mon
Every one of you from the plains to the Sahara
Let’s come together and live
[Choir]
Hum-dum-dum-dae-dum, hum-dum-dum-dae-dum
[PSY]
우-우-우리는 지구를 사랑해요
[Bad Bunny]
Amamos la tierra
[Kris Wu]
我们爱地球
[ Lil Dicky ]
(We love you, we love you)
C’mon everybody, I know we’re not all the same
But we’re living on the same Earth
(We love you, we love you)
[Ariana Grande]
Have you ever been to Earth?
[ Lil Dicky ]
Everyone who is listening has been to Earth, Ariana
(We love you, we love you)
We’re not making music for aliens here
[Justin Bieber]
Are we gonna die?
[ Lil Dicky ]
You know what, Bieber? We might die
(We love you, we love you)
I’m not going to lie to you
I mean, there’s so many people out here who don’t believe Global Warming’s a real thing. You know? We gotta save this planet. We’re being stupid
[Ariana Grande]
Unless we get our shit together now
Final Thoughts- if you bothered to read through this garbage
This song also enhances the most pagan notion of love that is both superficial and unfulfilling. If you are interested in real love, know that Jesus suffered for our sins. Know that life has more meaning that the base desires presented in this song. God has a plan for those who know Him.
