Testo
Instead of meat, I eat veggies and pussy
I like them both fresh, like them both juicy
I ride my bicycle to work instead of a car
All of my groceries are divided by weight
And stored in glass jars (yeah)
Got my reusable bag
That’s swag, my flex, my flag
Zero waste, that is my jam
Save fuel and sell your truck
The karma comes for free and so does luck
All aboard the green Titanic
Let’s sail the world and then cruise the Atlantic
No ice in the way, no need to panic
All the signs are there, let’s go organic
Oh, when you eat your veggies, baby, think of me
(Little kitty, don’t you know that being green is cool?)
Know that being green is hot (it’s hot)
Being green is cool (it’s cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as fuck
Being green is hot (it’s hot)
Being green is cool (it’s cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as you
Ring, ring, goddamn, it’s an exam, let’s go
Get your trash can, no backup plan, and sort through it
Bend over, then jiggle that peach (ayy)
You’re recycling while I’m loving those cheeks (that’s sweet)
I’m a beast instead of a killer, forget the hot dogs (what?)
‘Cause my sausage is just bigger
Three, two, one, all the girls go eco
If you want your man’s tongue longer than a gecko’s
Oh, when you eat your veggies, baby, think of me
(Little kitty, don’t you know that being green is cool?)
Know that being green is hot (it’s hot)
Being green is cool (it’s cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as fuck
Being green is hot (it’s hot)
Being green is cool (it’s cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as you
Know that being green is hot (it’s hot)
Being green is cool (it’s cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet (yeah, yeah)
Being green is sexy as fuck (yeah)
Being green is hot (it’s hot)
Being green is cool (it’s cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as-
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Know that being green is hot (it’s hot)
Being green is cool (it’s cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as fuck
Being green is hot (it’s hot)
Being green is cool (it’s cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as you, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Eat Your Salad: il significato
Il testo e il significato di Eat Your Salad è molto curioso e particolare. Il testo in inglese vuole unire due temi apparentemente molto diversi: la sostenibilità con l’attrazione sessuale. Infatti la canzone inizia facendo una lista di tutte le cose sostenibili che fanno ogni giorno, come usare la bicicletta, usare delle borse riutilizzabili per fare la spesa e così via. Questo permetterà loro in futuro di ricevere karma positivo e fortuna.
La canzone però non è solo un inno alla sostenibilità e all’essere verdi. Pieno di riferimenti sessuali, il brano descrive come sexy una donna che segue questo tipo di vita. La canzone vuole unire le pratiche ecologiche e descriverle come qualcosa di sexy e interessante. Risulta una canzone molto divertente e che fa sorridere l’ascoltatore, ma magari può anche far pensare.
