Green: the saga continues…
I haven’t posted here in a while, mostly because I’ve been busy making and promoting a new album. I am a writer and a musician but only one man, so my time gets divided between projects. The last blog that I posted was about going green, still a hot issue since very little progress has been made. To kill two birds with one stone, I decided that I would stay on the subject and plug my album at the same time. Somebody’s got to do it, and this is my blog. So, here are some of the lyrics to my song “Green,” which is relevant to the topics I often bring up in this blog. Enjoy.
Fake tree hugging – nothing short of money grubbing.
It’s their wallets, not the earth, that they’re loving.
Half of them are more fake than a tanned Caucasian,
And the other half are getting squashed by corporations.
Supposedly, we’re pushing for cleaner energy,
But the biggest profits still go to oil companies.
Political ties keep Washington paid,
But they still want a bigger cut of what you made.
And the system of bullshit pulling these stunts
Wants to call you a criminal for smoking a blunt.
While they weave a web of lies and send troops out to die,
They want to incarcerate people just for getting high.
You want green jobs? Then legalize pot.
It could be another regulated, taxable crop.
Instead of filling jails and prisons with minor offenders,
Stimulate the economy – that’s got to be better.
All the money they waste, locking cell block doors,
And they still want more for their fucking drug wars.
Invading nations, building torture prisons,
And we got the nerve to accuse them of terrorism?
On the home front, it’s a different fight:
With all these debates, we can’t seem to unite.
Do we save the earth or the American dream?
We choose our actions through different shades of green.
