Story Behind the Song
Okay, the real title is Blue Box Blues but that just seemed too darn Canadian for MP3. This is one of the featured pieces in our TV special, Greenpieces.
Lyrics
I been sitting in the kitchen
Recyclin cans
Peelin off the labels
And I cut my hand
Got a hundred newspapers in my little car trunk
My basement is full of recyclable junk
Got them green guilt, red tide, pull up the covers and hide blues
I started my own compost heap
I really worked hard
Only problem is
Now there's rats in my yard
I'm recyclin plastics
I'm recyclin glass
And I hate to admit it
But it's a pain in the --
Got them no smoking, no drinking, head hurts from too much thinking blues
There's pesticides in the apples
And chemicals in the sprouts
Radiation in the milk
And I hear that oat bran's out
I'm really bein careful
watchin what I eat
But forget it KD lang
I ain't givin up meat
Got them organic, tofu, everything is bad for you blues
It's not easy goin green
Paying my environmental dues
So I'm trying to be good
But you know I got them ecoİblues
Reuse, recycle, repent
I'm so scared of the sun
I don't want to be fried
So when I'm at the beach
I wear Coppertone 95
And if the sun is shinin
And I'm tryin to look cute
I wear a string bikini
On my nuclear fall-out suit
Got them growing ozone hole, flourocarbons melt the North Pole
Rain forest revival, planetary survival blues
