Uh, it’s all about that electric vehicle
The EV, the Tesla, the Leaf, the Hybrid, the Volt
But yo, what ya don’t know, what’s up with the VW?

[Chorus:]
Electric energetic
Powered transportation can still be coal dependent
So my soul is so organic
I want a solar powered Vanagon
To cruise a solar powered planet

Solar energy is the source of energy
All kinds, even oil, grew from plants like algae
And that’s what all animals eat or at least they eat other animals that eat
So all spawned from the sun, it’s the one energy
There in the sky, every day, consistent
Out of reach, far away, so close, yet distant
It’s what’s up, and it keeps us holding it down
So why you wanna dig up what’s down in the ground, burn it up and block out my sun with a cloud?
I’m talkin’ about smog, not fog, yo
Yeah, that’s right, I ain’t talkin’ about no storm

[Chorus repeats]

But I’m trippin’, what goes into solar panel production
Or like lithium ion batteries, what’s the environments pollution?
Or resource depletion, is it just an immediate solution?
What’s the ultimate plan to end destruction and an unhappy conclusion?
That’s a good question, my suggestion
I point you in the direction of local investment
Start your own business, so that your blessed with zero commute
Plus the fruits of your successes
Consume products that send the right message
Start a public garden and soon you can barter expenses
Or just trade, we could all have it made
If we knew where every part was made
We could finally start to save
And not profit off of the labor of slaves
Keep what it takes to sustain, well self-contained

Yeah, that’s right, punctuation mark, exclamation point
As long as we got sustainable, renewable energy based on non-renewable, rare minerals
Yo, it’s still unsustainable, like it’s planned to be
Uh, and so it goes:
It goes, neodymium, indium, gallium
Cadmium, selenium, tellurium, lithium
Cobalt, vanadium, chromium, metrium
Europium, cerium, unobtainium
Copper, nickel, and manganese
That’s right ya’all, so what’s the message, kids
Whether it’s fluorescent or incandescent
It’s still planned obsolescent
Uh, stop our coal addiction
Yo, that’s my sole conviction
‘Cause I’m on a solar mission, yo
