Recycling Lyrics

Nothing works like it used to

The styrofoam town where we all bought a house

Was meant to be used and thrown away

Where do we hide our trash

When the ocean's filled to the brim

There is no room in space for empty plastic bins

Take it out on your mother

The toys in your room that helped make it through

Were packed in a bag and thrown away

What'll you tell your kids

When they ask how you grew up

Was there any room on the shelf for empty plastic cups

Do you ever wonder why we were built for leaving?

And the glass to break your fall just keeps you bleeding?

And the courage to ask the sky is still receding?
