Its Not Easy (being Green) Lyrics - Singles - Mc Lars

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 [Incomprehensible] 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
