Greenwash Brainwash

There's only short-term sustainability,
Getting your bio-diesel supplied by the chippie.
It'll soon be found there's not enough
To go round, unless you all fancy
Fried food three times a day obesity.

But don't despair, the answer is there
From us companies that brought you
Child slavery, dead babies,
Right wing paramilitaries,
Sweatshops, and share dividends,
But as the dividends are shared
Over here the rest aint mentioned.

Palm oil is our corporate solution
To replace fossil fuels across nations.
We're clearing rainforest for palm plantations,
It's easier in Indonesia.
Yes, we're reducing carbon emissions
By environmental degradation.
Hacking down the trees to halt pollution,
Stop global warming by producing more.

It makes utter sense when you trust
Our captialist corporate structure,
That created climate chaos
To sort out the resultant mess.

For a short-term profit
The free market can fix it,
Honest.
