about
The song brings to our attention the madness of the plastic equation. Or the way we all are a part of and contributing to the plastic pollution problem. We are left uneducated about wide reaching effects of plastic pollution and the serious worldwide harm it is causing. We choose or are forced to buy products made of or wrapped in a substance that generally will only be used once before it is discarded into the environment. Don’t be fooled by recycling. Plastic isn’t recycled. Its downcycled or turned into other plastics that one way or another find themselves dumped in the oceans or on land. Plastics break down into micro plastics where they make their way into the food chain as they are ingested by the animals that we eat and eventually passed into us. They are also in the water we drink and the air that we breathe.
In the next 40 years we are projected and geared up to be producing four times as much plastic as has already been produced in all of our previous history. Think about the environmental cost this will have not only by the dumping of the plastic but also the toxic chemicals that are discarded into our rivers and oceans as useless by products in the production of plastic.
It’s a shameful legacy we are leaving for future generations. No one is getting out alive.
lyrics
Death By Plastic
Everybody caught in the fast lane ….. got a food chain permanent migraine
Im in a Chernobyl theme park wasteland… got home had to have a brain scan
Wife put botox in her lips …… vinyl nail job Silicone hips
She heard talk of a clinical trial……………… need a little help whats wrong my sex drive
Chorus:
Checking out in a short, short while … don’t bother to apologise
Getting harder for the people …. Nobody getting out alive
Death by plastic X
Nylon fish in a toxic sea…….. Crops all fail fast food factory
Am OCD on sugar and fat…………… living in a box came as a flat pack.
Tell me meat is murder……………. Choke on a supersize burger
Planet extinction eco-terrorist……………….. said I was mad I see a psychotherapist
CHORUS:
GUITAR BREAK Same as verse.
CHORUS:
Tell me why I look so pale ……………. Got a Virus spreading it wholesale.
Walk around with feet like lead………… its 7 at night and I still in bed
Hot outside but I feel so cold ………………Skin turn blue and I look so old ….
Body laid out in a laminate casket …….. Coroner report said death by plastic……
CHORUS:
Government reception (DBP)
Climate convention (DBP)
Sensory perception (DBP)
Planet of deception (DBP)
