Greenie - James McKay

Greenie Lyrics

I was out the back of Bourke
At the grocery shop
Met a guy, he did say
"Development should stop."
He was from the city city
Was environmental
But his life did portray
A hypocritical fundamental
And I said, "Hey Mr. Greenie, are you green?
You protest cotton farming, wearing jeans
You drive out here from Sydney
And fill your car with gasoline
You should have rode a pushbike
It helps the air stay clean"
You know I really love creation

Find global warming scary
But when I hear people judging people
It makes me wary
You can't simplify the concept of human greed
And are you one of those that takes far more than you need
And I said, "Hey Mr. Greenie, are you green?
You protest cotton farming, wearing jeans
You drive out here from Sydney
And fill your car with gasoline
You should have rode a pushbike
It helps the air stay clean"
We're all part of it, demand and supply
If you have more than food and shelter, you can't criticize
And I said, "Hey Mr. Greenie, are you green?
You protest cotton farming, wearing jeans
You drive out here from Sydney
And fill your car with gasoline
You should have rode a pushbike
It helps the air stay clean"
And I said, "Hey Mr. Greenie, are you green?
You protest cotton farming, wearing jeans
You drive out here from Sydney
And fill your car with gasoline
You should have rode a pushbike
It helps the air stay clean"
