Was it worth it?
The new jewellery for the wife
And the plastic toys for the children
It’s just a tumour that has spread around the globe
By the men and women that live here
Soon we’ll be consuming again
Well, they’ll ask us
The children all cry, what will you do?
To change your ways by next Christmas
It’s just a tumour that has spread around the globe
Somebody said the oceans got filled in
With all the plastic we discarded
The result of this consuming
Without any thought for our world
Shopping for dear life
When we should be saving our home
It’s just a tumour that has spread around the globe
A news report of a washed up dolphin
Within a few years, we’ll be suffering
Notifying our children, we got it wrong
It’s all we’re skilled in
We will be consuming again
Without any thought for the world
Shopping for dear life
When we should be saving our home
It’s all we’re skilled in
We will be consuming again
Without any thought for the world
Shopping for dear life
When we should be saving our home
When we should be saving our home
When we should be saving our home
