Lyrics | Green Slime

Nutrients, are the things all plants need
Nutrients, are the food on which all plants feed
Nutrients, like dirt and fertilizer, dead bodies, and poop and pee
Nutrients, make all plants grow from trees to algae

Have you ever seen ? Green Slime in the water
Have you ever seen ? Really murky water
Have you ever seen ? Dead fish in the water
Have you ever seen ? Green Slime in the water
on the rocks floating free, people call it algae

Too many , nutrients like dirt washing off the land when it rains
Too many , nutrients like fertilizer flowing down the drain
Too many , nutrients like sewage seeping out of control
Too many , nutrients and that’s what makes the algae grow

Have you ever seen Green Slime in the water ?
on the rocks, floating free, people call it algae

Have you ever seen ? Yes, we’ve seen, Really murky water
you’re standing in waist deep, ah, can’t see your own feet

Have you ever seen ? Yes, we’ve seen, Dead fish in the water
floating all around, oh gross, floating upside down

Have you ever seen ? Yes, we’ve seen, Green Slime in the water
on the rocks, floating free, people call it algae

There’s too much, algae growing in the water and blocking out the sun
There’s too much, algae growing right on underwater vegetation
There’s too much, algae it grows, it dies, it rots
There’s too much, algae decomposing and oxygen levels drop

Are you ready ? Yes ! Are you ready ? Yes !
Are you ready to clean to this algae mess ?
We’re ready ! Yes ? we’re ready ! Yes ?
We’re ready to clean this algae mess !
