THE ECONOMIST
Script In English:
Singer: “What are rich governments doing about the food crisis?’
SFX: Crowd Cheering.
Scientists around the world
Have given a warning
There’s a global food crisis
And food riots in the offing.
If food production and the food system
don’t become a priority.
The poor everywhere will starve.
It will be a calamity.
The world needs a new vision
for agriculture.
politicians are failing to see
the big picture.
The eight richest nations
promised $20 billion last year.
We’ll fix the food system.
They said, please don’t fear.
But the money never arrives.
It never materializes.
There are only promises.
And rising food prices. (Damn, they keep rising)
A great global catastrophe
is surely looming.
And our leaders, alas, again
are found wanting.
SFX: Crowd going wild with whistles, hoots, cheers and applause.
