lyrics

I want a new house, and I’m scared of Ebola
I’ve got a green parrot, and I’m a rock 'n' roller
The oil’s dried up, the Earth’s temperature’s heating
I’m scared of Ebola -- it bears repeating

And I don’t know which way the world is headed
But right now it don’t look too good
If there’s an eye of the needle, we better start threading
There’s a thousand plastic bottles in my neighborhood

I’ll take my water from a cup!

There’s a thousand plastic bottles on the gutters and lawns
Even the trash is no good because they’ll never be gone
They’ll make their way out to sea to join the gyrosphere
Millions of pounds for millions of years

And I don’t know which way the world is headed
But right now it don’t look too good
If there’s an eye of the needle, we better start threading
There’s a thousand plastic bottles in my neighborhood

I’ll take my water from a cup!

And the president, he’s a corporation
And my congresswoman, she’s a corporation
The intent of the framers when they formed the nation
To have General Motors on the administration

And I don’t know which way the world is headed
But right now it don’t look too good
If there’s an eye of the needle, we better start threading
There’s a thousand plastic bottles in my neighborhood

I’ll take my water from a cup!

It was the hottest summer that I ever can remember
105 on the 5th of December
And the little kids stand in front of their classes
Should they wave bye-bye as opportunity passes?

And I don’t know which way the world is headed
But right now it don’t look too good
If there’s an eye of the needle, we better start threading
There’s a thousand plastic bottles in my neighborhood

I’ll take my water from a cup!

about

Tall Walls image

Tall Walls Long Beach, California

Tall Walls' sun-drenched power-pop is what Buddy Holly might have sounded like if he listened to The Arctic Monkeys.

Blending a love for three-part harmonies, brass features and pop arrangements, the band's tunes are uptempo and melodic. ... more
