Jim And The Povolos - CO2 lyrics

Carbon dioxide, CO2 Where does it come from and what does it do? It's a chemical compound, it's all around Trees breathe it in and we breathe it out So why is that bad? (What's wrong with that?) The problem is that we're producing too much of it Like when you turn on a car (CO2) You take a long shower (CO2) See that smokestack? (CO2) A coal power-plant burns C-O-O, let's add an L to that From sea, oh, to shining sea Oh together we can make the globe a little more cool... Now when CO2 sits in the air Traps heat from the sun in the atmosphere And it puts a mighty strain on the delicate globe You can sit and complain but you gotta have hope 'Cause it dirties up the water (CO2) The planet's getting hotter (CO2) Tell your son and daughter about (CO2) Write your senator a letter about C-O-O, let's add an L to that From sea, oh, to shining sea Oh together we can make the globe a little more cool... You can lose sleep over CO2 But here's a couple things that we can do Recycle at home or plant a tree Or take a shorter shower and turn down the AC Supe up your roof with solar panels Turn down the heat and put on a flannel Or bring your own bags to the grocery store Or get around town in a hybrid car When you're heading to work or cruising to school You can ride your bike and you can drive carpool Carpool, carpool, carpool, carpool... C-O-O, let's add an L to that From sea, oh, to shining sea Oh together we can make the globe a little more cool...
