Oh garbage dump oh garbage dump
Why are you called a garbage dump
Oh garbage dump oh garbage dump
Why are you called a garbage dump
You could feed the world with my garbage dump
You could feed the world with my garbage dump
You could feed the world with my garbage dump
That sums it up in one big lump
When you're livin' on the road
And you think sometimes you're starvin'
Get on off that trip my friend
Just get in them cans and start carvin'
Oh garbage dump my garbage dump
Why are you called my garbage dump
Oh garbage dump my garbage dump
Why are you called my garbage dump
TALK:
There's a market basket an' a A&P
I don't care if de box boys are starin' at me
I don't even care who wins de war
SING:
I'll be in dem cans behind my favorite store
Garbage dump oh garbage dump
Why are you called a garbage dump
Garbage dump oh garbage dump
That sums it up, in one big lump
TALK:
I claim all these garbage dumps
In the name of
SING:
(The garbage pickers of America)
(The garbage pickers of America)
(The garbage pickers of America)
this song is about dumpster diving. it's portrayed as a good thing, an alternative to the wasteful consumerism of our days - something that "could feed the world"
where the hell do you get the idea that "if you choose to go to this garbage dump by the sea it isn't for free because your soul is lost and it's like hell" ?
"garbage" is a misnomer, which is why it repeatedly asks why it's called that.
it's all about summer and being with your friends and doing drugs and having fun and just letting loose and just chillin and being who you really are and not having to hide yourself and if you choose to go to this garbage dump by the sea it isn't for free because your soul is lost and it's like hell
