Green

(album: Love Over Rage - 1994)

We got water in bottles for a dollar a litre
Melamine Chippendale by the metre
Beer without alcohol, twice the price
Meat free sausages, nice nice nice
So sit up and listen to the marketing man
We can save the environment for twenty five grand
We just need a brand new executive car
Just how green do you think we are?

Green green green... a lovely BMW is
Green green green... oh yeah
Green green green... just buy a new detergent and you're
Green green green green green green green green... green

It's an eco-revolution using market forces
As we carry on guzzling the world's resources
There's a special green credit card to help the poor
It's just an excuse to sell you more more more
The nuclear fools are getting in on the act
Even late lamented Maggie's been saluting the flag
And if she gives a shit about the ozone layer
Then I'm a banana and a poll tax payer

Green green green... they're cynical and greedy but they're
Green green green... oh yeah
Green green green... they'll sell you up the Amazon
Green green green green green green green green...

There's a gaping hole in the enterprise zone
And there's human pollution half a mile from home
All the biodegradable teenage creeps
Who beg in the subways, sleep on our streets
Recycle paper to escape the cold
Breathing lead-free fumes at the side of the road... they're

Green green green... they're chilling out together, 'cause they're
Green green green... oh yeah
Green green green... they're ice cool, baby
Green green green green green green green green... green
