Blue Planet Blues

The waves roll in The waves roll out Each year eight million tonnes of plastic Thrown in the sea pollute the deep Poisonous, ugly, deadening and caustic The waves roll in. The waves roll out The wide seas swallow the world's trash From plastic bags to pesticides - Swirl in Pacific's Garbage Patch The waves roll in The waves roll out Cigarettes, bottles, drown in the spray Cutlery, straws, toothbrushes, cans 500 hundred years to melt away The waves roll in The waves roll out Cotton buds and fishing net Frisbees, trays, old rope and string Child's balloon, all a human threat The waves roll in The waves roll out Toothpicks swim where the blue whale sings Seals and dolphins, albatross Turtles throttled on six pack rings The waves roll in The waves roll out Oil spills, toxins, sewage waste Fertilizer cause eutrophication Dead zones of coral…Man, make haste To stop the tidal soup of pollution The waves roll in. The waves roll out
