D9    
wondering what the heck to do 
  A6                                                         E9

But the green you talk's just money or it's snot (snot, get it?)
Bm                                                       E
You drag your feet but tell kids "don't complain"
               C#m                                        F#7#5
While dooming us to certain climate change
                   B7

A6
Having meetings at the Hague
D9
and talks at the UN
