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?
