The Lyrics

landfills to the sky
full of stuff we leave
now we have to find
re-use-a-bility

it's more than a word,
it's more than a sayin'
this world is warmin up, we'll be in pain
but it's not easy to be green

garbage day I ry
to sort out "recyclies"
garbage man comes by
blue box he empties

climate is a word
gore used to deceive
as his house consumes such energy
it makes me disturbed
now nobel decreed
even zeroes have this inner need
but it's not easy to be green

sort, sorting today
it's my need
it's all right
we can clean all around tonight
i'm not lazy
or anything

I just have to try
styrofoam release
coffee in a mug
no more killing trees

a place for the birds, a place for the bees
a place to hide my woman on her knees
a bush in the hand a hand in a bush
it turns my little heart to romantic moosh
but it's not easy to be green

While I'm glad Gore is bringing attention to the global warming issue, it's also good to point out his hypocrisy. Good job with a comprehensive but funny message... :)
