Last Straw

[Verse 1 - Scotty Sire]
Plastic is a thing that we don't even really need
I got a problem with it 'cause it causes death at rapid speed
And I know we used to use it, but I think it's time to lose it
'Cause the damage that it's causing to the Earth is so abusive
Have you ever used a plastic bottle, where'd it go?
Only 9% of plastic in America's recycled
Let me teach you about waste without wasting my breath
In honor of the animals without any left
Millions of them die every single year
'Cause they chocked on something long, thin and clear
And the straw that you left in a mess on your desk
Ended up on a beach in a seagull's chest
And let's not forget the environment
By the year 2050 scientists predict
The ocean will contain more plastic than fish
And that's really not something I would wish.

[Chorus - Scotty Sire and Mariah Amato]
Witness this damage, why do it?
Destroy this planet, why do it?
Witness this damage, why do it?
This is the last straw
Bright Fight one and all, ooh
We got to fight
I got a bright idea
I got a fight in Me-Ya, ooh
We've gone too far
Let us destroy, destroy no more.

[Verse 2 - Scotty Sire]
Imagine this, because it actually exists
A state the size of Texas made of plastic
And it's hard to differentiate what's actually food and what's just a piece of plastic waste
You're hungry so you stuck you stuff your face full of plastic forks, and knives and paper plates
And when you think you're finally full you realize that you weren't even eating food
But, technically, your stomach's full of junk that doesn't decompose, and so you die and decompose
And even when your corpse is gone and so are you bones
The plastic is still there
It never really goes away
Keep making plastic and it's here to stay
There's only so much the Earth can take
So, I think it's time to make a change
There's so many changes we can make
Like reusable cups and straws
Bring your own bags to grocery stores
Try not to use anything disposable
So many other options at your disposal
I know it's hard to give up a things that you're so used to
But it's better for us all if you could learn how to reuse, dude
That's all I got to say about that
P.S. Throw away your trash.

[Chorus - Scotty Sire and Mariah Amato]
Witness this damage, why do it?
Destroy this planet, why do it?
Witness this damage, why do it?
This is the last straw
Bright Fight one and all, ooh
We got to fight
I got a bright idea
I got a fight in Me-Ya, ooh
We've gone too far
Let us destroy, destroy no more.
