Crash Course (Fossil Fuel Addiction) [feat. Rome]

(Angry news anchor rant)

It’s gettin’ hot in here — yeah, the temperatures risin'

Big Oil is big bucks, it shouldn't be surprisin'

That people ‘round the world are gettin’ pumped at the pump

Plus Planet Earth has become the fossil fuel industry’s dump

They pollute their CO2 — and don’t pay a dime

They even have armies protecting their pipelines

Pump out their greenhouse gases — carbon emissions

Their powerful lobby buys corrupt politicians

Play by their own rules — can you spell cartel ?

Phillips, ExxonMobil, BP, Chevon & Shell

Greedy companies, they’ve got it all wrong

It's time to ditch their filthy fuels before we’re all gone

Gone

Clean air all gone

Clean water all gone

Trees all gone

It’s all gone

We’re on a crash course with our fossil fuel addiction

Drivin' humanity to the brink extinction

Dirty tar sands, shale oil & arctic drillin’

At our own expense, they’re making a killin’

We’re on a crash course with our fossil fuel addiction

Drivin' humanity to the brink of extinction

We need solar, wind & hydro — energies that are clean

The time is now: we gotta go green

So how can we create a future that’s beautiful ?

An answer is by going renewable

But why should we do so ? What are the incentives ?

Let me assure you that the benefits are tremendous

First and foremost, we can stop global warmin’

Slow down species extinction from soarin’

Stop the ice caps meltin’, rivers bein’ poisoned

Create millions a green jobs, decrease unemployment

Save human lives, less global conflicts

Improve our health, keep more money in our pockets

So from Tuscon to Taiwan — to Azerbaijan

Let’s make this transition now — before it’s all gone

Gone

Clean air all gone

Clean water all gone

Trees all gone

It’s all gone

We’re on a crash course with our fossil fuel addiction

Drivin' humanity to the brink extinction

Dirty tar sands, shale oil & arctic drillin’

At our own expense, they’re making a killin’

We’re on a crash course with our fossil fuel addiction

Drivin' humanity to the brink of extinction

We need solar, wind & hydro — energies that are clean

The time is now: we gotta go green

Gone

Clean air all gone

Clean water all gone

Trees all gone

It’s all gone

Ohh — crash course
