Oh, we’re radical environmentalists,
Yes, we’re radical environmentalists,
We like clean air and clean water,
And our rivers in good order.
Oh, we’re radical environmentalists.
Oh, we don’t like energy from fossil fuels,
And we know that frackin’ kills… we ain’t no fools!
And we’d rather see those windmill blades
Than nuclear plants in the Everglades!
We’re radical environmentalists!
We’ve seen drilling, we’ve seen fracking in our time,
So we’ll stand against those oil and gas pipelines.
We don’t want toxic gas and oil
In our water or our soil,
’Cause we’re radical environmentalists.
Yes, we’re radical environmentalists.
When people mess with Mother Earth it makes us pissed!
And with all these wars we’re fighting,
It’s really gettin’ fright’ning
’Cause we’ll all be gone if we can’t co-exist.
So we must do what we oughta,
For our grandsons and granddaughters,
And be radical environmentalists.
