about

A pointy-finger song about people who think it will solve the climate crisis if they just spend more money

lyrics

Neighbour bought himself a car
Says it could be built for war
Industrial four by four
Parks it right outside his door

Got himself a car c- c- c- c- car
Got a c- c- c- c- car
It’s more than a car, he says.
F- f- f- f- funny man

Two big tonnes of steel and plastic
You tree huggers do not panic
Cos the mileage is fantastic
All it needs is some electric

He doesn’t care what people say
He’s got no patience with the argument
That all of us will meet a sticky end
One day

Says they gave him a good deal
He goes out and counts the wheels
They’re the kind that some would steal
They’re not thinking of his feelings

Stuck in one more traffic jam
Happy cos he’s got a plan
Got a stove and got a pan
He’s a self-sufficient man













Chorus
M8
Break

Drives it every day he can
Travels up and down the land
Legs have shrunk so he can’t stand
Good at walking on his hands

Chorus

Going for a spin today
GPS tells him the way
Meets some doggers down a lane
Careful not to scratch the paint
