This spins OneRepublic's "Counting Stars" into a song about the harnessing of cattle flatulence.
Lately I've been, I've been thinking deep
Reading about the squeeze of energy
The ways we tried too, I've been weighing hard
Said no more lighting fossils, we'll be lighting farts
Yeah, we'll be lighting farts
I pass my time while I'm in this line
A la carte I'd like to dine
In this house of curly fries
Neon cows on burger signs
Cow, and I wonder how
Tap that power from the bowel
With umpteen billion burgers sold
That methane's worth a lot of coal
Wide diapers fitted tight connecting the piping
Balloons collecting the fumes, ripe for the lighting
I could light it, could light, couldn't I?
Everything that cows eat makes a gas to light
Lately I've been, I've been thinking deep
Reading about the squeeze of energy
The ways we tried too, I've been weighing hard
Said no more lighting fossils, we'll be lighting farts
Lately I've been, I've been thinking greens
In a bovine belly could beat gasoline
And grazing cows too, could be fueling cars
Said no more lighting fossils, we'll be, we'll be lighting farts
Moo
I say a cow
When it eats a fern, down it's belly rumbles churn
Fart's and undervalued word, make that methane, watch it burn
Foul, don't toss that towel
Tons of power from the bowel
And umpteen billion burgers sold
Methane's worth a lot of coal
Wide diapers fitted tight connecting the piping
Balloons collecting the fumes, ripe for the lighting
I could light it, could light, couldn't I?
Everything that cows eat makes a gas to light
Lately I've been, I've been thinking greens
In a bovine belly could beat gasoline
And grazing cows too, could be fueling cars
Said no more lighting fossils, we'll be lighting farts
Lately I've been, I've been counting beans
Dreaming about the means of synergy
And hey, these cows too, I've been saying start
Said no more lighting fossils, we'll be, we'll be lighting farts
Oh, stanky methane watch it burn
Smoke and deliver the gassy returns
Stanky methane watch it burn
Smoke and deliver those messy returns
Stanky methane watch it burn
Stink and deliver the gassy returns
Stanky methane watch it burn
Stink and deliver those messy returns
Everything that cows eat makes a gas to light
Lately I've been, I've been counting beans
Dreaming about the means of synergy
And hey, these cows too, I've been saying start
Said no more lighting fossils, we'll be lighting farts
Lately I've been, I've been smelling things
Squeeze a spicket on it and get powering
And flaming cow toots could be fueling cars
Said no more lighting fossils, we'll be, we'll be lighting farts
Oh, stanky methane watch it burn
Smoke and deliver the gassy returns
Stanky methane watch it burn
Smoke and deliver those messy returns
Stanky methane watch it burn
Stink and deliver the gassy returns
Stanky methane watch it burn
Stink and deliver those messy returns
