lyrics

It’s like the keys played on the piano.
I see green in each channel pumping out the speaks’ panel.
I see green like the ecology, and follow the
change in its color up to dollar green.

If we look at “green” as “greed,” we can see what needs to be seen,
and see the need that seeds seen.
And “green” means both ecology and economy;
the capitalist struggle between each harms our progeny.

Of course I mean greenhouse gases,
but I also mean not having enough teachers to lead our classes.
Even giraffes win with a head start, though the cheetah fastest,
and in the background are the hyenas laughing.

You don’t need reading glasses to see between the lines.
How do we free our minds, when we find
our whole environment keeps us shackled and chained?
Thus those without money keep asking for change.
