Re-Re-Recycle
We have a mission, something to do.
That’s why we’re here, talking to you.
There’s a story that has to be told
about our dumps and the garbage they hold.
Just look in your trash, and what do you see?
Everyday things from you and me:
Newspapers, bottles and cans
made from trees, metal ore and sand,
natural resources and energy.
To throw it away seems silly to me.
Now there’s just on question
We all have to ask:
If we can put a man on the moon,
Why can’t we handle our trash?
Some trash in the dump will turn to goop;
just add rain, you have garbage soup.
With X-ray vision you could look underground,
you could see the dump juices moving around
Old car oil, leaking batteries seeping through the ground,
such a slimy sleaze.
It?s moving to the water that we drink
Whoa! It makes you think!
It?s leaching, reaching our water supply.
You could see it all with X-ray eyes.
CHORUS
So much trash, so much waste
filling up the land, taking up space.
So much of it could be reused
but that depends on me and you.
So take out the bottles, take out the cans,
take out newspapers with your own hands.
We’ll smash up the bottles, crush up the cans,
shred newspapers - let’s save the land!
It just makes sense to do it this way.
If it can be reused, why throw it away?
