Lyrics It's Not Easy (Being Green) - MC Lars feat. Pierre Bouvier of Simple Plan

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 arena 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 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 Seaworld with a giant net
To save the whales, but they got upset
Brought Shamu to the parking lot, didn't get far
I couldn't even fit one fin in my car
Recycling's great, but my roomate didn't smile
When I tried to make a couch from his rare Beatle's vinyl
Gotta seperate the plastics from the glass
Even though it's a pain in 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 some sunscreen
It's not easy... It's not easy

I buy size five Vans at the local mall
Just 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 underwater)
LA (Could be underwater)
Vancouver (Could be underwater)
London (Could be underwater)
Detroit (Could be underwater)
St. Louis (Could be underwater)
Chicago (Could be underwater)
Jersey (But who'd miss Jersey?)

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
