Plastic Ocean (extended version) Lyrics

Well, my girl likes swim; I like to walk

I like to think, and she likes to talk

Sometimes it's hot and sometimes it's cold

The currents they have changed or so I've been told

Oh that plastic ocean it just washes over me

Oh that plastic ocean how those troubles came to be

Some days I'm up and act like a clown

But that plastic ocean is dragging me down

The goo at the bottom may clog up the sink

But the crap on the top is worse than you think

It used to be clear all pristine and fine

Now it's all paved with waste we design

If oil is the future then give me the past

That plastic ocean is ugly and crass

Oh that plastic ocean it just washes over me

Oh that plastic ocean how those troubles came to be

Oh that plastic ocean it just washes over me

Oh that plastic ocean some just don't want to see

When Vasco da Gama sailed 'cross the blue

He liked what he saw and so did his crew

If he tried that today, he might not believe

How we've tainted the waters and how we deceive

The ending is clear or, so I've been told

It's gonna get warmer and the gamblers will fold

I used to think, she used to talk

Now she can't swim and it's too hot to walk

Oh that plastic ocean it just washes over me

Oh that plastic ocean some just don't want to see

Oh that plastic ocean washes over me

Oh that plastic ocean we just can't let this be

Oh that plastic ocean washes over me

Oh that plastic ocean some just don't want to see

Oh that plastic ocean washes over me

Oh that plastic ocean we just can't let this be
