The song lyrics below are by the Newcastle-based hip hop group Dhopec.
Zombie plankton can't fuck with this
Whether you're sober or you're stoned or you're on the piss
The power of the people is the ultimate weapon
To construct another world of social progression
Its time for a session
To break down the zombie plankton
and their henchmen and their yes men
So I made my way back to my home
I turned off the TV and turned on my dome
I linked up my mind to the global internetwork
And decided I would get to work
I remembered the zombie plankton cursin & versing
& I decided to do a bit of researching
How to get power
Without coal or uranium
I start flexin my cranium
I type up a search of energy systems
and before me is a list of already existing
sources of the power
hour after hour
and day after day
across the planet
Number one pick at the top of the list
Is the wind turbines that are fully sic
Cheaper than nuclear power & much better
Free electrics from the blow of the weather
Number two pick going down the list
Is the solar water boiler in between the sticks
Number three choice are the solar panels
Getting cheaper to make and living long like camels
Four to the floor is a flaming mass
Of bagasse biogas and biomass
Five and alive with a continuous vibe
Is the geothermal to stem the rising tide
And more for hardcore break of the divide
Power from the waves and the flow of the tide
A chimney of air in the countryside
Running day and night off the hyperglide
A funnel of water deep in the ocean
Driving a big fucken locomotion
Hybrid cars are really good
And they can still run ya woofers when ya in da hood
Electric cars are also rather fair
As are vehicles that run on compressed air
Organic and urban cultivation
when not transported across the nation
saves the emissions from transportation
and pesticides and fertilisation
And public and mass transport is the go
To take the smoke bite out of the traffic flow
And we need reforestation
Permanent plantations in all nations
These are the ways to complete the mission
To sever the connection with the plankton
Fossil fuels are a terrible addiction
But we can quit them this is not a fiction
