lyrics

Dumpstar

I've lost count of all my sheep
Don't think I'll fall back to sleep
Everything tastes bitter sweet
Can't decide now what to eat
MSG preservatives
Xanthan gum and additives
Make my meals and they are cheap
from the alley dumpster off the street

Whoa oh, we found a way to eat for free
Whoa oh, the smell it use to bother me
Whoa oh, just wipe it off it will be fine
Whoa oh, this meal didn't cost a dime

The waste we create is making me sick
a lot of what we use ends up in a pit
so much consumed when fresh produce is thrown away
the man on the corner shouldn't be begging for change

but it happens don't you see it going on
flaws in our system ROT ENTHUSIASM'S
soiled and stained with a hubris grin
my appetite is growing i'm about to jump in
*
Who knew? we'd be so lucky to go
Ok, We'll take this home it is our way

Seize the day out on the prowl
Expiry date? Show me how
Jettison I would think for some
No problem here I'll grab us one
*
Who knew? we'd be so lucky to go
Ok, We'll take this home it is our way
