It's Not Easy (Being Green) (Featuring Pierre Bouvier Of Simple Plan)

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
