The Trees Are Full Of Plastic by Phil McWalter published on 2021-05-25T00:38:47Z Heartbeat and Drums @rick-4-1 The Rant and the Other Stuff @phil-mcwalter Warning Explicit Video: https://youtu.be/4FpF-DU0Iew We are all responsible... THE TREES ARE FULL OF PLASTIC The trees are full of plastic The air is full of poisoned clouds The music is so bad It should be in the water Too drastic? The leaders are mad And we go for a walk in the burnt country Amongst the quiet, dead animals We have no credits for good behaviour Nothing to spend, to give, or contribute What were we thinking of? What were we wishing for? How did they get it so wrong? How did they vote for this? It wasn’t me Suffocated by media Deafened by notifications Everyone agrees with me They all agree with you Doesn’t anybody talk They walk In circles and mumble quietly Scared of their sagging skin In the mirror If someone sees them looking old they’ll be recycled Too depressing Too expensive What were we thinking of? What were we wishing for? How did they get it so wrong? How did we vote for this? It wasn’t me Paint me a colour Make me fit Eat me young Soon we’ll cast a net and catch ourselves Look me in the eye Tell me you don’t know this already All ready for tomorrow? Tell me you don’t know this already All ready for tomorrow? Hiding in the safe spaces Taking pictures of myself To show the world I don’t say anything I smile I am happy Oh yes, so happy! Paint a picture A thousand empty words A thousand black and white words No-one’s going home Or even knows where it is We’re homeless orphans of empty asylums The devil’s been met The fishing nets bet What were we thinking of? What were we wishing for? How did they get it so wrong? How did we vote for this? It wasn’t me... The trees are full of plastic "And you'll wonder where the yellow went When you brush your teeth with Pepsodent" What were we thinking of? What were we wishing for? How did they get it so wrong? How did we vote for this? "It wasn't me!" The trees are full of plastic "And you'll wonder where the yellow went When you brush your teeth with Pepsodent" It wasn't me... © May 2021 Phil McWalter Image: 'VIER PLUS EINS' Anselm Kiefer Genre Alternative Rock Comment by castiglio Hey, this is Essential Thinking! thank to you. and then IT Turns Out to be a really good Song! great track! 2023-12-23T13:33:15Z Comment by N.R.G.
