Sustainability Blues Lyrics

Got a great big house in the suburbs, got a fifty-two-inch TV

I make a long commute into the city every day in my fully loaded SUV

They say the world's getting hotter, so let's crank up that old AC

Life is good in the US of A with cheap electricity

Sounds heavy, but it's true

When the whole world wants to live like you

Makes you wonder what old Mother Nature's gonna do

Let's all sing (Two, three, four, one) SUSTAINABILITY BLUES

They're all talking about a green agenda, how we all got to change our ways

Well, I don't see how folks like me are gonna make a big difference anyway

They say the data's inconclusive, oh the scientists can't agree

There's nothing here folks, just move along, there's nothing for you to see

Sounds heavy, but it's true

When seven billion people want to live like you

Makes you wonder what old Mother Nature's gonna do

Let's all sing (Two, three, four, one) SUSTAINABILITY BLUES

I never gave it any thought I guess, where the 'electricit-t-t-y comes from

I just plug it in, and I flip the switch, and the TV always comes right on

But the anchor on the evening news just talks about climate change coming on

So, I grab the handle, change the channel, and see what else is on

Sounds heavy, but it's true

When people on the planet want to live like you

Makes you wonder what old Mother Nature's gonna do

Let's all sing (Two, three, four, one) SUSTAINABILITY BLUES

Live united – save the planet

Live united – save the children
