lyrics
You can get with this
Or you can get with that
Get with this or get with that
So let's try to get with the math
What's your greenhouse gas reduction target?
How about twenty tons of carbon?
That's what the average American emits
Every year, so that'll be easy to fix
The global average is only four tons
And billions of people are still tryin’ to get more stuff
Just like your stuff, which you're not givin' up
Especially not while the rest of us live it up
Everybody's stuck with the perverse incentive
Where dirty is cheap and clean is expensive
Remember, this is a physical system
It doesn't give a damn about your relative emissions
Or whether emissions come from decadent living
Or visiting relatives at Christmas
This is everything, everything we manufacture
Concrete, steel, glass and plastic
Whether or not you change your little habits
Absolute emissions is all that matters
So you can get with business as usual
With everybody wiggling through their own loophole
Or you can get with an arms control agreement
If that's what you want, act like you mean it
Or you can get with that
Get with this or get with that
So let's try to get with the math
What's your greenhouse gas reduction target?
How about twenty tons of carbon?
That's what the average American emits
Every year, so that'll be easy to fix
The global average is only four tons
And billions of people are still tryin’ to get more stuff
Just like your stuff, which you're not givin' up
Especially not while the rest of us live it up
Everybody's stuck with the perverse incentive
Where dirty is cheap and clean is expensive
Remember, this is a physical system
It doesn't give a damn about your relative emissions
Or whether emissions come from decadent living
Or visiting relatives at Christmas
This is everything, everything we manufacture
Concrete, steel, glass and plastic
Whether or not you change your little habits
Absolute emissions is all that matters
So you can get with business as usual
With everybody wiggling through their own loophole
Or you can get with an arms control agreement
If that's what you want, act like you mean it
