Greenwash

[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!
