Greenwash

Lyrics

[Verse 1] How can GE keep a straight face When they say that nuclear power is safe? Tell us they're gonna take care of their waste By shooting it all into outer space [Chorus] PACs spending millions to fight environmentalists Instead of technology—that's why our problems will persist They'll sponsor Earth Day, plant a tree, then countersue Greenwashing me and greenwashing you [Verse 2] Chevron protects little butterflies In the hope you're gonna believe all their lies Say they're environmentally a-okay While they dump selenium into the Bay [Verse 3] Pure Rocky Mountain spring water beer Violated clean water laws for years Just pay the fines quick so no one hears Greenwashing works, boys, have no fear [Chorus] "Toxic waste? We're doing all that we can" Don't believe it! "Industrial accidents? We've got a comprehensive plan" Don't believe it! "Our EPA compliances are in effect" Don't believe it! "Are you trying to say that we're not politically correct?" I'm saying you suck! [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Strip mines where forests used to be Spotted owls can go find some other tree Ecology in the way of economy Corporate greed is a liberty [Chorus] "Toxic waste? We're doing all that we can" Don't believe it! "Industrial accidents? We have got a comprehensive plan" Don't believe it! "Our EPA compliances are in effect" Don't believe it! "Are you trying to say that we're not politically correct?" I'm saying I hate you!
