Take another plastic cup
Send it out to the ocean with love
The Styrofoam is bubbling up
But in America we can't get enough
The cyclical and thoughtless waste
Is giving me such an awful taste
But my country's now a famous place
Our garbage dumps are running out of space
Can we please
Notice the disease?
There's a virus at work,
Apathy
Build your house of sticks or bricks
Hemp is how I'll be getting my kicks
When poverty, despair persist
You know that greed is in effect then
Just a meagre moment ago
A man came up, we didn't know
Looking for some change or cans
Bet you homelessness was not in his plans
The hungry they are crying quiet
US on the corporate diet
Rich be getting richer poor be staying poor
what are all these empty houses for?
Can we please
Look to these?
People need
Empathy
Now you may wonder what we're saying
Get to steppin, while I lay it out
If you smoke, that's OK, get yourself an ashtray
The sewer's not your throw away
This land is not your garbage bin
Apathy is this century's sin
Only you control your choices
The media they work to suppress voices now
People get on up and out
We're faced with more than flood and drought
If apathy is who you are
I'd really rather seal you up in a glass jar
And ship you off to the stormy sea
You'll fit right in with the debris but
I'd rather not go through all that cause
Consciousness is where it's at
She walked into the restaurant like any other
Thought her to be just another customer
But I should not be so led by doubt
Cause she pulled her very own Tupperware right out
Send it out to the ocean with love
The Styrofoam is bubbling up
But in America we can't get enough
The cyclical and thoughtless waste
Is giving me such an awful taste
But my country's now a famous place
Our garbage dumps are running out of space
Can we please
Notice the disease?
There's a virus at work,
Apathy
Build your house of sticks or bricks
Hemp is how I'll be getting my kicks
When poverty, despair persist
You know that greed is in effect then
Just a meagre moment ago
A man came up, we didn't know
Looking for some change or cans
Bet you homelessness was not in his plans
The hungry they are crying quiet
US on the corporate diet
Rich be getting richer poor be staying poor
what are all these empty houses for?
Can we please
Look to these?
People need

Now you may wonder what we're saying
Get to steppin, while I lay it out
If you smoke, that's OK, get yourself an ashtray

Thought her to be just another customer
But I should not be so led by doubt
Cause she pulled her very own Tupperware right out
