G Bm C G

CO2 is rising, the temperature's beginning to climb;

Bm C G

the oceans soon will follow, wreaking havoc on all mankind.

Bm C G

Polar bears and coral are already feeling the heat,

Bm C G

And 200 species a day are dying at my feet.

(chorus)

G D C G D C

Take a load off the Planet, Take a load off please,

G D C G D C G C

Take a load off the Planet, and get below -2.3!

Fanny, can you tell me how we pumped up this CO2?
We're at 20 tons per person in this land of Red, White & Blue
Call the cops, pull all the stops, get your Congressman on the line,
We need to get below 2.3 to help save all of mankind.
(chorus)

Never understood this tune the first time it came around.

Some guys going to Nazareth, but it had a really cool sound.

Now it's tons of carbon, and we're toking those fossil fuels.

We've got 6 billion ship mates and we're acting like fossil fools.

(chorus)

I'm doing my best to get myself down below 2.3;

Tons of CO2 that is from all my living needs.

These boots are made for walking, not driving a big SUV,

I'll shut the light, set the thermostat right, gonna get myself carbon free.

(chorus)

Take a load off the Planet, Take a load off please,
Take a load off the Planet, and get below (3x)- 2.3!
