about

It's a song about how much plastic the music industry produces.

lyrics

Deep in the ocean, there’s a little sea turtle
Choking to death on an old tape
Of John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’
---
And there’s a Lima in the trees,
And he’s coughing and wheezing
On the fumes from a burning copy of Earth Song...by Michael Jackson
---
Elton John
flew 20 times around the world
Singing HEY! it’s the Circle of Life!
---
Millions of bess
Are now all deceased
From the chemicals
Used to make Morrisey’s salad.
----
And there’s a whale somewhere out there
With a intestinal tear
Caused by a DVD of David Attenborough’s ‘Blue Planet’
---
I see toxic landfill, full up to the brim with
Louis Armstrong’s ‘What a wonderful world!’
---
And deep in the ocean, there’s a little sea turtle
Choking to death on an old tape
Of John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ OH YEAH
