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
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
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 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
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 haikusE 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) 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.
