I want to save the Earth,
but this is written on a piece of paper.
Blue ink between blue lines, that's all I need
To think freely
I love climbing trees,
and I don't want to cut them down
But the axe is all that keeps money in this town now
I don't want to carve stone 'cause that stays forever
Don't want to draw in sand 'cause that's kicked away
Don't want to burn wood 'cause I'll burn my finger
A feather and inkwell are all I need to say what I have to say...
I'll bike instead of drive and eat local vegetables
All in the name of keeping Antarctica cold... for the penguins
But I'll never succumb to saving our planet
If that means giving up papyrus and parchment and pen
I don't want to carve stone 'cause that stays forever
Don't want to draw in sand 'cause that's kicked away
Don't want to burn wood 'cause I'll burn my finger
A feather and inkwell are all I need to say what I have to say...
Here's me performing it with banjo, guitar and vox.
