No Biggie

Extract, produce, consume, dispose
Extract, produce, consume, dispose
Extract, extract, extract, extract
We can extract new minerals from the ground
There's always more resour-ces to be found
And if we fill (up)
The landfill (yup)
It's no biggie
Extract, produce, consume, dispose
Produce, produce, produce, produce
It's just a simple, modern economical fact
We must produce new products from the stuff we extract
Once they're complete
They'll soon be obsolete
But it's no biggie
Extract, produce, consume, dispose
Consume
Use it only for a little while
Dispose
Then heap it up on the discard pile
Consume
Buy it new on the internet
Dispose
Soon it's clutter so get rid of it
Now that it's done
Back to step one (extract!)
And it's no biggie
Hey, that's not the only way to do business
What this is guy saying is ridiculous
I'm in business too, and I've got different ideas than you

Well, excuse me sir
But I beg to differ
This is kind of a biggie to me
It sorta sounds like you feel
That we're stuck on a wheel
But we're humans not hamsters, you see
So allow to me to convey
One alternative way
Of how the near future could be

Reduce, redesign, reuse, repair
Reduce, redesign, reuse, repair
Reduce, redesign, reuse, repair
Reduce, reduce, reduce, reduce
When we reduce the amount of new stuff that we reduce
We reduce the emissions that we let on the loose
It's easy to
Easy to do
It's no biggie
Reduce, redesign, reuse, repair
Redesign, re-design
We'll redesign new products from here on in
To be compostable, recyclable or used again
Bye bye strip mine
Let's redesign
It's no biggie
Reduce, redesign, reuse, repair
Reuse – They can use it for a long long time
Repair – Find a easy fix you got online
Reuse – A milk jug becomes a plastic swing
Repair – Replace a part not the whole darn thing
This could be so
Incredible!
And no biggie
"So, what do you think?"

Well, excuse me ma'am
But I think that I am
Inspired by all you have said
And if a guy like you
Can change what I do
Then these changes will soon be widespread
I know now
I knew it
Let's go now
Let's do it
Let's stop all this wasting' and let's get down to it
The future looks bright
Up ahead
And it's no biggie
