Environmental Poser

She seems so pure and noble fighting for the manatee
So smug and so self righteous, thinking that she's better than thee
But herbicides and fertilizers inundate her lawn
A Superfund site if I ever saw one
All so she can have a yard so enviously green
Underneath her token tree

Environmental poser, in your gas guzzling SUV
Environmental poser, strike the pose while you hug a tree

Defiant for the cameras which televise her valiant stand
Against the evil forces trying to build this power plant
But don't you dare question her electric bill
Her waste and gluttonous usage will
Justify this plant and many more the same
Hasn't she any shame?

Environmental poser, in your gas guzzling SUV
Environmental poser, strike the pose while you hug a tree

So blind to all the damage that your lifestyle reeks
Never see you quit for green anything that's chic
I see no solar panels up upon your roof
No frugal water use or any other proof
That anything you do is done for more than show
Or anything you say is just to let us know
That you are, oh, so good and clean and caring for our healths
When your actions tell us something else

Environmental poser, in your gas guzzling SUV
Environmental poser, strike the pose while you hug a tree

Environmental poser, attention seeking hypocrite
Environmental poser, your poses ain't worth a . . .
