MC Lars - Its Not Easy (being Green) Şarkı Sözleri

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

And 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

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 sixty three?
I'm going green
Hardcore like Slayer, here's twenty seven 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

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

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 tried to Beatles vinyl
Gotta separate plastics form the glass
Even though it's a pain the morning

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

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?

It's not easy
(It's not easy)
It's not easy
(It's not easy)
It's not easy
(It's not easy)
It's not easy

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
