Plastic Cup of Coffee
You've got a plastic cup of coffee
in a plastic coffee cup.
Mobile phone in one hand
you try to take a sip -
your skinny caramel latte
is a little bit too hot
so by the time you've finished it
you haven't really got
time to find a waste bin
and you don't give a shit
so you drop it on the pavement -
someone else will pick it up -
you've had your plastic cup of coffee
in its plastic coffee cup.
Plastic straws, plastic bags,
plastic wrapping on your veg,
What happened to brown paper?
Do you have a grudge
against this world that feeds us
and the creatures of the sea?
"Dump it in the landfill,
it's nowhere near me!"
So when the earth is choking
and we've all given up
remember your plastic cup of coffee
in it's fucking Costa Starbucks Nero
McFucking plastic coffee cup.
