"Green Is Blue" lyrics

Neil Young & Crazy Horse Lyrics

"Green Is Blue"

We watch the old news
Distracted as they talked on and on in the usual way
About the latest lies, deceptions
We saw tomorrow, we long for a better day

And I know why green is blue
There's so much we didn't do
Oh, I know why green is blue

We heard the warning calls, ignored them
We watched the weather change, we saw the fires and floods
We saw the people rise, divided
We fought each other while we lost our coveted prize

There's so much we didn't do
That we knew we had to do
And we know why green is blue

We watched the species die, we saw the coral turning
We watched the oceans rise
We saw the pod of whales lay bloated
On the shore where they baked, but we missed that sign
We saw the polar bear, she floated
On a piece of ice from another time

So I know
