A process used since ancient times
intended to deceive;
well known to cheats and scalawags
to hucksters and to thieves.
First rob a bank – get some cash –
then make it nice and clean.
Laundering is magical –
it cleans! – or so it seems.
Today there is a different trick
from gods of sun and wind.
Skip the mining and refining –
use a little spin.
First drill a hole – get oil and gas –
then make it nice and clean.
Laundering is magical –
it comes out labeled green.
We’re headin’ back to ancient times
and that won’t be a joke.
‘Cuz if we cut our fossil fuel –
our grid is gonna’ choke.
