[Verse]
Dm
Mister Thompson calls the waiter,
orders steak and baked potato
(Then) he leaves the bone and
A7
gristle and he never eats the
skin
The busboy comes and takes it, with
a cough contaminates it
(And he) puts it in a can with
Dm
coffee grounds and sardine tins
A7
And the truck comes by on Friday and
Dm
carts it all away
Gm
A thousand trucks just like it are
C
converging on the Bay
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh, Garbage, garbage, garbage,
garbage
We're filling up the seas with
A7
garbage
What will we do when there's no
place left
Dm
To put all the garbage
[Verse]
Dm
Mr. Thompson starts his Cadillac and
winds it down the freeway track
Leaving friends and neighbors in a
A7
hydrocarbon haze
He's joined by lots of smaller cars
all sending gases to the stars
There to form a seething cloud that
Dm
hangs for thirty days
A7
And the sun licks down into it with
Dm
an ultraviolet tongue
Gm
(Till it) turns to smog and then it
C
settles in our lungs
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh, Garbage, garbage, garbage,
garbage
We're filling up the skies with
A7
garbage
What will we do, when there's
nothing left to breathe but
Dm
garbage
[Verse]
Dm
Getting home and taking off his
shoes he settles with the
evening news
While the kids do homework with the
A7
TV in one ear
While Superman for thousandth's time
sell talking dolls and conquers
crime
(They) dutifully learn the date of
Dm
birth of Paul Revere
A7
In the paper there's a piece about
Dm
the mayor's middle name
Gm
(And) he gets it done in time to
C
watch the all-star bingo game
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh, Garbage
We're filling up our minds with
A7
garbage
A7
What will we do when there's nothing
left to read
A7
And there's nothing left to need
A7
There's nothing left to watch
A7
There's nothing left to touch
A7
There's nothing left to walk upon
A7
And nothing left to ponder on
A7
Nothing left to see
Dm
And nothing left to be but garbage
[Verse]
Dm
In Mr. Thompson's factory they're
making plastic Christmas trees
Complete with silver tinsel and a
A7
geodesic stand
The plastic's mixed in giant vats,
from some conglomeration that's
Been piped from deep within the
Dm
Earth, or strip-mined from the
land
A7
And if you ask them questions they
Dm
say "why don't you see?
Gm C
It's absolutely needed for the
economy."
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh, garbage, garbage, garbage
Their stocks and their bonds all
A7
garbage
A7
What will they do when their system
go to smash
A7
There's no value to their cash
A7
There's no money to be made
A7
That there's a world to be repaid
A7
Their kids will read in history book
A7
About financiers and other crooks
A7
And feudalism and slavery
A7
And nukes and all their knavery
A7
To history's dustbin they're
consigned,
A7
Along with many other kinds of
Dm
garbage
