Driving Our Teslas

or
I Got The "It costs as much as a small condo" Blues
by RDotTornello and the Village Idiot Press

The difference between then and now:
livin’ in our slick urban townhouse ghet-toe
(we’re clean, we’re green)
We’re electrified and we… are… so… so… satisfied.
Sacrifices made, but that’s the price we paid.

Bethesda you ask?
No, not a chance.
The mortgage’s too high and so is the rent.
But we drive our Tesla, and yes, we live in a tent.

(Better than a trailer park,
We’re leaving our green foot mark)

But we’re driving our Tesla (livin’ in a tent).
Don’t cost much money (livin’ in a tent).
Taxes? a lot cheaper with a slit trench and a tent.

Got a 60 amp service comin’ off of a pole
a statement so proud, a statement so bold.
Then sittin’ right next to our tent and our trench,
so it won’t get wet, it won’t get so cold,
the charger’s stuffed, ha! in a watertight hold.

(Better than a trailer park,
We’re leaving our green foot mark)

We get our heat off from the sun and when it’s not
reverse-flow-runs-the-batteries-down a whole lot.
Then our range?
It decreases, a fact you can bet.
But we’re driving our Tesla,
and freezing in our tent.

(Better than a trailer park,
We’re leaving our green foot mark)
