DON’T YOU CARE?
by Arioose
Intro
You know we’ve been talking about the problems
You know … we have the solutions
I’m just here to bring [them] to light
As a matter of fact, that’s exactly what I’m talking about…
Verse 1
We’re never gonna run out of the sunlight
Solar energy is renewable in every way
The sun is a consistent power source meaning
… it will always be here everyday
Understand, there’s information that they’ll never share
Money make the world go round, they never cared
If you knew what you were breathing, you’d probably be scared
Solar cells don’t release anything into the air
Lets play it safe, lets play it right
It’s in front of our face, let’s use the light
Cause fossil fuels are releasing gases
And everything that we inhale containing acids
Going green is the best, there’s no denying that
I know that there’s a solution, we can rely on that
Imagine not paying a monthly bill or a hook-up charge,
Solar’s the hook-up you all!
Chorus
Why are we all fighting… listen up and follow me
There is only green solutions…which means air is pollution free
Don’t you care about your kid’s future and that baby girl?
We’ve got hydro, solar, wind
Green is cleaner for the world…don’t you care?
Verse 2
Wake up, smell the coffee like its morning
Fossil fuels create large amounts of CO2
CO2s’ global warming
So, from now on, pollution free for me and you
That’s solar power and hydropower
And wind power. We have the power
To come together as one. Let’s take it higher
The solution is here young-in, they’re all liars
No more holding hands, lets take a stand
And invest in green energy, that’s the plan
We can save money, we let the war drop
This energy is sustainable, lets create jobs
Let’s work now, I heard Europe’s on it
China’s got it and Middle East wants it
So what we waiting for, solutions are here, time’s not ample, B P...for example!
Chorus (2x)
Why are we all fighting… listen up and follow me
There is only green solutions…which means air is pollution free
Don’t you care about your kid’s future and that baby girl?
We’ve got hydro, solar, wind
Green is cleaner for the world…don’t you care?
Outro
…Don’t you care about the animals?
Don’t you care about the air that we breathe?
Don’t you care about living a longer life, a healthier life?
Don’t you care about making the world a better place?
For you?
For the future?
