We're [D] gonna to save the world
But [A7] first we're gonna need a [D] plan
[Men] (We need a pla-an, we need a pla-an)
We [D] want to make it better
Be[A7]fore it gets out of [D] hand
[Women] (So out of ha-and, way out of ha-and)
[G] Climate change or stopping wars which one do we choose?
[D] Maybe we can throw a dice [A7] catch us on the news
We're [D] gonna to save the world
But [A7] first we're gonna need a [D] plan. [A7]

[Em] Climate change, what the
[A7] Hail you say, happened to the [D] weather?
[Women] (The weather, what happened to the weather?)
[Em] Who’s to blame?
[A7] Forestry, people or [D] chickens
[Men] (Who you calling chickens?)
We [G] burnt the trees and [A7] started global warming
[D] Call a hui, back to [Bm] basic
Just [G] keep on taking
[A7] One little step at a [D] time. [A7]

[Chorus]

[Em] Stopping war
[A7] Why do we kill one a[D]nother?
[Women] (Why do we kill? Kill one another?)
With [Em] me, in charge
We’d [A7] stop man’s hunger for [D] power
[Men] (Hunger, hunger for power)
[G] Kill the inciter or [A7] spread the love
Or [D] put all our faith in the [Bm] lord above
Be [G] happy and contented and
[A7] Always, be there on [D] time. [A7]

[D] You write the verses and [G] I’ll write the chorus
([D] You write the verses and [G] I’ll write the chorus)
[E] Nah, you write the verses (nah [A] I’ll write the chorus)
([E] You write the verses and [A] We’ll write the chorus)
[F] I’ll write the verses and [Bb] You write the chorus
([F] You write the verses and [Bb] we’ll write the chorus).

We're [F] gonna to save the world
But [C] first we're gonna need a [F] plan
(We need a pla-an, we need a pla-an)
We want to make it better
Be[C]fore it gets out of [F] hand
(So out of ha-and, way out of ha-and)
[Bb] Climate change or stopping wars which one do we choose?
[F] Maybe we can throw a dice [C] catch us on the news
We're [F] gonna to save the world
But [C] first we're gonna need a [F] plan
(We need a pla-an, we need a pla-an)
We're gonna to save the world
But [C] first we're gonna need a [F] plan. [Bb][F][C][F][****]

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

scumbags

Sandra from Waiwhetu

There are some really awful people around at the moment. This is what happened on Sunday.
We live in Hinemoa Street opposite the Waiwhetu Stream. At around 3.40 in the afternoon I was looking out my window and saw a car pull up and start to feed the geese and ducks out the window. Then The passenger an asian man jumped out and threw himself onto a goose. he picked it up and put it the boot of the car.
I immediately ran over and stood in front of his car to stop him moving I also called my husband to help. A lovely man was riding his bike and saw it and stopped to help me. The driver tried to drive into me but I didnt move. He tried telling us it was his pet. These are wild geese.

They had a cage in the boot and some wire all ready to catch the poor bird like they have done it before. My husband took the bird from the car and released it. I then moved out of the way and after lots of abuse from the driver they drove off threatening to come back and get more.
No one should be allowed to take these beautiful birds and certainly not like this. they are all starting to have wee babies at the moment the whole thing was so upsetting to me. Another neighbour further down the road also saw it all happen.
Please keep a look out for this car and if you see them by the stream go over and watch them lets all stop this happening.
