Ecology Blues

[Verse] In Mr. Heinemann's class We learned all about ecology The balance of nature The web of life It ain't no mystery We studied ecosystems From the rivers to the trees But all I could think about was rock 'n' roll and my dreams [Verse 2] He taught us 'bout the food chain Predators and prey The circle of life How everything's connected in its own way But my mind kept drifting To that electric guitar I couldn't help but wonder Could I be a rock 'n' roll star? [Chorus] Oh Mr. Heinemann I've got the blues Can't focus on ecology When I've got rock 'n' roll on the loose I wanna play guitar and make the crowd scream But here I am in class Stuck in an ecosystem dream Studyin' the sunlight Where the energy begins Chloroplasts in the plants Convert it to fuel within Carbon dioxide in the air They take it in with a grin Releasin' oxygen The atmosphere they enrich [Verse 2] Cellular respiration Happenin' all around Breakin' down the glucose Energy is found Mitochondria in the cells They make their own sound Releasin' A T P Powerin' life underground [Chorus] Oh Mr. Heinemann I've got the blues Can't focus on ecology When I've got rock 'n' roll on the loose I wanna play guitar and make the crowd scream But here I am in class Stuck in an ecosystem dream [Verse 2] Cellular respiration Happenin' all around Breakin' down the glucose Energy is found Mitochondria in the cells They make their own sound Releasin' A T P Powerin' life underground [Chorus] Oh Mr. Heinemann I've got the blues Can't focus on ecology When I've got rock 'n' roll on the loose I wanna play guitar and make the crowd scream But here I am in class Stuck in an ecosystem dream
