Check out that noise in the background! I'm mad green right now. It's a biodiesel generator! |
|
I'm using it to run the computer studio for the recording of this album! |
|
I got it with this gift certificate I won at the Save the Sea Turtles Marathon Run dude! |
|
Check it out! I wrote all of the lyrics on my arm because trees are too important to be |
|
used as paper you know what I'm saying? Let's get sustainable! |
|
Verse 1: |
|
I got a letter from Al Gore the other day |
|
I opened and read it, it said we're in trouble |
|
It said "Go Green!" What's that mean? |
|
Bought a hybrid hummer to save gasoline |
|
Went to Live Earth in my private jet |
|
Just like Sting and Kanye West |
|
Let's save the earth with area rock |
|
(Pyrotechnics are very sustainable) |
|
(I'm going green) Can't you see? I keep the AC above 63 |
|
(I'm going green) Hardcore like Slayer, here's 27 fliers on the ozone layer |
|
(I'm going green) Because I care, use organic aerosols in my hair |
|
(I'm going green) So my grandkids will remember, |
|
when you couldn't buy ocean property in Denver |
|
CHORUS |
|
It's not easy being green (it's not easy) |
|
Having to change that old routine (it's not easy) |
|
The climate change could be extreme |
|
It's not easy... it's not easy |
|
Verse 2: |
|
Went to Sea World with a giant net |
|
To save the whales but they got upset |
|
Brought Shamu to the parking lot, didn't get far |
|
Couldn't even fit one fin in my car |
|
Recycling's great, but my roommate didn't smile |
|
When I told him what I did to his old-school Beatles vinyl |
|
Gotta separate plastics form the glass |
|
Even though it's a pain the morning |
|
(I'm going green) Aerosol cans are terrible so I |
|
Spread the word with spray painted signs |
|
(I'm going green) Love animals for real, you see me clubbing with baby seals |
|
(I'm going green) Bought a Prius to save on gas |
|
But I fly every weekend in first class |
|
(I'm going green) So my grandkids will remember, |
|
when it wasn't 500 degrees in December |
|
CHORUS |
|
It's not easy being green (it's not easy) |
|
There Will be Blood for gasoline (it's not easy) |
|
I drink your milkshake like that scene |
|
It's not easy... it's not easy |
|
It's not easy being green (it's not easy) |
|
Santa Claus's sleigh will need jetskis (it's not easy) |
|
The polar bears might need sunscreen |
|
It's not easy... it's not easy |
|
I bought size five Vans at the local mall |
|
To make my carbon footprint half as small |
|
I wrote this song to express how I felt |
|
About climate change and glacial melt |
|
You know the movie |
|
The Day After Tomorrow? |
|
That could happen dude |
|
I even rap in haikus - what! |
|
Manhattan (could be under water) |
|
LA (could be under water) |
|
Vancouver (could be under water) |
|
London (could be under water) |
|
Detroit (could be under water) |
|
St. Louis (could be under water) |
|
Chicago (could be under water) |
|
New Jersey (but who'd miss Jersey?) |
|
Chorus: |
|
It's not easy (it's not easy) |
|
It's not easy (it's not easy) |
|
It's not easy (it's not easy) |
|
Woah, oh |
|
It's not easy being green (it's not easy) |
|
We'll tour New York by submarine (it's not easy) |
|
We'll scuba dive the Bronx and Queens |
|
It's not easy... it's not easy |
