It's getting so warm inside this room
Don't know if I should turn up the A/C or live with all this doom
And there's been sweat upon my head
It's smelling, so I'm better alone instead
But after the afternoon, the night will come
And the A/C won't have to run

Chorus:
They say this energy crunch is way too tough tough tough
Who's gonna turn off the A/C, and turn off the fan
You keep saying that it's not cool enough, 'nough, 'nough
But please turn off the A/C, and turn off the fan
And I say shut it, shut it, shut it , down, down, down
Till' you can pay all your rent
Not everything in this wasteful state is quite abundant

I looked real' gross the other day
Cauz' I stank so much, I saw the stink waves
I live my life by the fridge
If it's hot don't move, if it's hottest go to sleep, then snore
But after the afternoon, the night will come
And the A/C won't have to run

Chorus

I'm sweating so much, that I can't see
Why don't you don't you don't you come and be with me
I know why, 'cauz I won't turn on my A/C
If that's what it is, then we cannot be
I'm saving, I'm saving, catch up with my bills
Where is the coolness that I'm looking to chill
It's all California's fault, can't you see, I can see, why can't you see?

Chorus

Where is the power?
How much do we need to save?
Where can California turn in this delicate time of need?
Shut it down, shut it down down down,
I do not need it, I do not need this
Where is the power?
What does California need?
Where can California turn in this delicate time of need?
