[Verse 1] Plastic straw in my iced latte, But I swear it’s eco, I threw it away, Bought a tote bag made of ten-dollar dreams, Shipped from China, wrapped in plastic seams. Turned off the lights — posted it online, Hashtag greenlife, feeling so divine, Every click’s a step for humankind, But my AC’s on, I don’t mind. --- [Chorus] We’re saving the planet, one filter at a time, Singing “go green!” in a private jet line, Oh, look at me planting a tree on the ‘gram, But I drove here solo in my big ol’ van. Save the world — but first, my selfie, Mother Earth’s lucky she’s wealthy! --- [Verse 2] Electric cars and plastic cups, I recycle — when I clean up, Streaming “nature doc” on my 8K screen, As the power grid hums like a guilty dream. Signed a petition with my face so proud, Ignored the beggars, cheered the crowd, “Earth Day sale!” — buy three, get one, Yeah, saving’s fun when profit’s done. --- [Bridge – spoken/rap-style] Carbon credits for my soul, Offset guilt — that’s the goal, Made a compost of my lies, Watch hypocrisy fertilize. --- [Final Chorus] We’re saving the planet, one post at a time, Singing “love nature!” with a lemon-lime, Oh, click like if you truly care, Then toss your trash into thin air. Save the world — it’s trending tonight, Yeah, we’re glowing green in fluorescent light. --- [Outro – softly] “Alexa, save the planet…" ...Playing ‘Firework’ by Katy Perry.
