I Want It Clean

It's not what I want to hear
That I'm the reason we're here
We built our cities sprawling out
So I could have a suburb house
Concrete! Under all our feet
From sea to rising sea

I want it clean but
I want it cheap

I'll tell the world about all the ways I'm helping
By showing off all of my second-hand clothes
Preach another sermon to my online show
To let the people know how the meldown goes

I want it clean but
I want it cheap

I can listen to what the experts tell me
But what's the point in change if I'm prospering
I can feel the pain that the facts are painting
But never quite enough to change my ways

I don't like you telling me
I'm complicit with industry
Manufacturing constant waste
To fill every corner of this place
Mine this baby down to the core
That's what god said the earth's here for

Industry
Better than a world that's clean
Industry
Gives me everything I need

I don't think there's going back
So burn the rest for a little more cash
For all our love and apathy
We'll be swallowed up by the sea
Shame there's no more pretty trees
But we got everything we need

I want it clean but
I want it cheap

I'll tell the world about all the ways I'm helping
By showing off all of my second-hand clothes
Preach another sermon to my online show
To let the people know how the meldown goes

I want it clean but
I want it cheap

I can listen to what the experts tell me
But what's the point in change if I'm prospering
I can feel the pain that the facts are painting
But never quite enough to change my ways
