lyrics

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)

Starts 500 old in Fahrenheit
Stretch blown to a mold until just right
Then made to be cold with carbon di
Trimmed, packaged and sold by body type

Shipped hastily to the next address
Unpacked and in queue for fizziness
Quick spouts will retool its emptiness
For bubbly cool deliciousness

Sweet, bubbly cool deliciousness

Immediately it's sealed up tight
Warmed to a degree to match the site
Then labelled to be a known delight
For grocers to see and feature right

Then off to the store shipped by request
From back room to floor to dispossess
Hand carries it for the lane express
Its ready to pour deliciousness

Its ready to pour deliciousness

Goes into a fridge a couple nights
Brought out just to bridge some dinner bites
Loose cap and low fizz and melted ice
Tossed out before it's been read its rights

Goes out in a bag on garbage day
With nothing to flag its salvage pay
Lands up on a crag of disarray
Years might make it sag, but not decay

Tossed out before it’s been read its rights

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
