Idle Killers (80s Synth-pop)
Turn
it off!
(yeah) Cut
the key!
You're parked outside the grocery store Air conditioner blasting while you check
your phone
Ten full minutes on the curb Coughing tailpipe poison into the air
Empty RPMs wasting clean fuel Every single breath is paying the toll
Nitrogen oxides filling the street
Cooked up high in the midday heat
If you ain't moving,
what's it running for?
Kill the switch,
lock the door!
Cut that idle, flip the key!
Save the air for you and me!
Auto stop-start in every ride
Keep that feature locked inside!
Make it illegal to shut it down
Clear the poison from this town!
(Cut it off now!)
School run lines with sixty hoods warm Particulate soot in a toxic
storm
Children walking right beside the pipes Breathing in carbon while you sit
tight
Zero miles per gallon on the dashboard screen
Nothing about an idle engine is clean
Wear on the cylinders,
burning the oil
Boiling the asphalt, tainting the soil If the car is parked,
don't let it run
The idling
party is done!
Cut that idle, flip the key!
Save the air for you and me!
Auto stop-start in every ride
Keep that feature locked inside!
Make it illegal to shut it down
Clear the poison from this town!
(Kill the engine!)
(Turn it off!) (Leave it off!)
No more idling! Mandatory law!
(Cut it off!) Clean sweet air is what we saw!
Flip the key, let the engine sleep Promises we gotta keep
