Baba Brinkman - Bright Future lyrics
[Baba Brinkman - Bright Future lyrics]
Bright future
Blackout, blackout, too late to back out
From New York City to Krakow
No turnin’ back now
We demand infinite power that never taps out
And the shutting of all fossil
Fuel smoke stacks down
Don’t forget to ask "how"
Use every single tool
Got that solar bling on my roof
All of my neighbours are thinkin’ it's cool
Renewables are beautiful
Get them connected to every cottage
But the crucible is: can they
Get us city level wattage?
Ten percent, maybe twеnty five
Until the wind power diеs
No flow from a hydro reservoir
That a drought has dried
The sun sets under cloudy skies
Out of sight out of mind
Old king coal comes out at night
Sunrise capacity surges
Crashin’ the circuit's
Batteries would be perfect
It’s too bad they don’t work yet
Plus the cost of purchase
It straight up doubles the pesos
So again with the fossil fuel
Steppin’ up to cover the base-load
Commuter sky polluter
Ride my scooter climate movement
Computer wiFi booster
Fly juicer hiFi music
Clean energy means everything, everything
Bright future clean energy means everything
Bright future
So here we go, yo
Whatsa, whatsa, whatsa scenario?
The carbon footprint is low
In France and Ontario
The way they chose to carry the
Load is scary to folks
But the resulting quality of life
There is very dope
Look at what they did in Sweden
Low emission Sweden
Took the power grid and cleaned it safely
Ask a physics teacher
Fifty years of nuclear waste fit's
In a single arena
And nature is more radioactive
Check a dosimeter reader
Carcinogenic coal ash kills half a
Million people every single year
After leavin’ ‘em feelin’ a lil wheezy
Replace particulate coal with fission
And breathe easy
Some people will get a little heated
But, I don’t give a millisievert
You want to fight climate change?
Fight nuclear decommissions
Replace fission with fossil fuel
And you increase emissions
Keep that clean efficient energy
In the system
How is that politically divisive?
Commuter sky polluter
Ride my scooter climate movement
Computer wiFi booster
Fly juicer hiFi music
Clean energy means everything, everything
Bright future clean energy means everything
Bright future
Abundance
That’s what happens when everything functions
One billion people today still have
Nothin’ to plug in
Every third of a second another one comes in
No judgment
Just take the power production number
Today and double it
Now every solar panel planned is just
Keepin’ up with new demand
Burn baby burn, another natural gas plant
The air is a trash can for
Fossil fuel when you’re burnin’ it
But frack that
We have a zero carbon alternative
That’s so radioactive
You can’t discuss it calmly
A nuclear reaction to a
Sensible energy policy
I’m afraid of a meltdown
But only psychologically
In response to a technology
That produces juice constantly
Is it dangerous? Compared to what
Fairy dust? It’s safer than other major
Energy production areas
Climate change is scary enough
Even with various solutions at play
Take one of the biggest away
And it’s gonna bury us
Commuter sky polluter
Ride my scooter climate movement
Computer wiFi booster
Fly juicer hiFi music
Clean energy means everything, everything
Bright future clean energy means everything
Bright future
