From the recording Great Big Love
The green billionaire is speaking with passion
From his pulpit at the head of the room
See how he shines like a Virgin messiah
Ain’t gonna save us anytime soon
Been to the mountaintop and seen the light
And here he come with tablets of gold
But now that all we had is looted and melted
That magic trick seems a little bit old
Chorus: It’s us
Just us
It’s up to us
Only us
And now he’s buddies with the boards of directors
Of Big Green this and Eco that
They’re clinking drinks over sustainable lunches
That kind of food can really make you fat
Chorus
Bridge: Letting go of hope ain’t easy
When there seems no other choice
But when you find your guru’s sleazy
Sorta helps you find your voice
Been to the mountaintop and seen the light
And here he come with tablets of steel
But now that every kiss is measured for market
It doesn’t matter how inspired you feel, because...
Chorus
