Man, what did you say? I really can't understand it
You're speaking a different language man, I'm just being candid
You don't sound like the people whose opinions I trust
Look, it's really quite clear, I don't know why you're nonplussed
The data seems to suggest what we already suspected
There's a strong correlation between actual and projected
The confidence margin is over 96%
We do not expect this calamitous warming to relent
The data is quite clear. We know how we made it here
The burning of fossil fuels caused greenhouse gasses to appear
These trap the sun's rays and raise average temperatures
And cause extreme weather events (blizzards, hurricanes) to emerge
Now we're seeing floods and droughts. Cocoa is running out
We are frankly out of time to turn this thing about
But the good news is: we really have all the tech we need
We just need some starter funds to bring it to seed
Heat pumps and EVs and really, they're quite fast!
And I promise you the economics of it are worked out at last
You can save money and protect your home from destruction
There's so much more efficient means than internal combustion
Man, what did you say? I really can't understand it
You're speaking a different language man, I'm just being candid
You don't sound like the people whose opinions I trust
And frankly, you sound wishy-washy, I need something more robust
Our profits are tanking, our shareholders are livid
I just fired a simpering sissy speaking insipid
We need risk reduction and brand protection
These boycotts are pushing consumers in different directions
And it's shocking, the profit margins on solar and wind farms
Are beating our drills hand over fist, it's time to get some
We'll protect our wealth by diversifying our assets
We spend so much money on lobbying and marketing
And people have cracked it
We'll redeploy those assets into profitable new technology
Which at this point is proven and low-risk, a hot commodity
This will boost our brand image and stabilize profits long-term
While minimizing the temporary, short-term heartburn
Our competition has already adopted this tact'
We risk falling behind if we don't act
This protects our bottom line while enabling growth
My friends, the decision is quite clear, let's make a toast
Man, what did you say? I really can't understand it
You're speaking a different language man, I'm just being candid
You don't sound like the people whose opinions I trust
Why don't you come and crack a cold one with me in the dust
Now, I've been talking to my people down on the street
The ones whose homes have been flooded or burned down in the heat
The ones who feel the pesticides and smoke giving 'em cancer
And pray every day to be delivered an answer
Dude, I've seen it. And I know you have too
We have no more time for these political snafus
We can't just make do. We have to make moves
And dude, it's actually cool how much you can do
My plumbers and electricians make houses more efficient
With heat pumps and water heaters, yo, you're sick with it
And having a battery pack in your home or neighborhood
Makes you immune to power outages, and that's damn good
And did I tell you I moved my savings to an ESG?
You wouldn't believe the money that it's making me
20% year over year
Cuz it lets me invest in solar, wind, and nuclear
Which are booming businesses, have you seen the growth?
I know you saw the new battery plant they built down the road
It's bringing hella jobs and clean air too
Way better than the coal plants they used to do
Let's rally the troops and have a tailgate at the park
We'll throw some veggies and birds on the grill after dark
My new Rivian's got a built-in grill under the cab
How 'bout that, maybe an electric future ain't so bad
