Green Is Blue

We watch the old news

Distracted as they talked on and on in the usual way

About the latest lies, deceptions

We saw tomorrow, we long for a better day

And I know why green is blue

There's so much we didn't do

Oh, I know why green is blue

We heard the warning calls, ignored them

We watched the weather change, we saw the fires and floods

We saw the people rise, divided

We fought each other while we lost our coveted prize

There's so much we didn't do

That we knew we had to do

And we know why green is blue

We watched the species die, we saw the coral turning

We watched the oceans rise

We saw the pot of whales lay bloated

On the shore where they baked, but we missed that sign

We saw the polar bear, she floated

On a piece of ice from another time

So I know
