Anyone attending Sustainability the Musical is heartily invited to sing along! “How can I do that,” you ask, “if I don’t know the songs?” You may know some of them better than you think. Most of Sustainability’s original lyrics go together with the melodies of popular tunes you may already know - we’re so green we even recycle music! Five short, simple, easy to learn tunes are below, one for each of the five resources we can’t live without. Sustainability the Musical comes with its very own colourful sing along comic program, including lyrics from 12 of Sustainability’s 22 songs with explanatory comics and your very own six step guide to dancing into a better tomorrow. You can preview them here, and printed copies suitable for saving the world at any karaoke night are available from the artist for only $5.

AIR
All the air is sacred
Every breath we take
All the air is sacred
Every breath we take
Unite the people we are one
Unite the people we are one
WATER
The ocean is the beginning of the world
All life comes from the sea
FOOD
Food is the circle of life
All that lives must eat to survive
Right at the end of your knife
Every single bite was alive
ENERGY
Energy wisdom come to us
We need green energy
Energy wisdom come to us
Give us clean energy
Our footprint’s growing fast
But we can turn it around
Conserve our energy
And use it wisely
Cut your emissions 10%
10% isn’t hard
Cut your emissions 10%
10% isn’t hard
Our footprint’s growing fast
But we can turn it around
Conserve our energy
And use it wisely
COMMUNITY
We can’t build a future alone
Only together
Can we meet all our basic needs
And keep our future bright
WOW! Peak oil shrink Kathy McMahon, who wrote the excellent article on Panglossian Disorder that I reference in my psychology show, has been gracious enough to share my song about it with some of the Peak Oil who’s who and post my song and lyrics sheet on her blog where many eyes shall see it. I’m immensely flattered to see my face next to her insightful work, and you can hear me sing it there!
Here’s an mp3 of me singing
Broken Forever
