factories make plastics
and sell them to the stores
people bring them home
to release on their own
some of them are melted down
to lesser plastic types
others are scattered
over every part of the world
plastic for the gutters
plastic for the lakes
plastic for the forests
plastic in the food chain
plastic in the oceans
plastic in the sands
plastic in the children
the fish fill their bellies
with tiny pieces of plastic
floating around in the oceans
accumulating over the years
the birds swoop down
and scoop up the fish from the water
and after a little while
the birds die down on the beach
the bodies of dead birds
stretching as far as I can see
forever after they’re gone
the plastic from their bellies
will remain
plastic for the gutters
plastic for the lakes
plastic for the forests
plastic in your clothing
plastic in your bloodstream
plastic in the sands
plastic in the children
It's true I played bass on this album and some other Moledebater EPs. Many of these songs are close to my everyday life. Like when I'm cleaning up garbage and think "whose mess you gonna clean up"? Graham Janz
I'm on this album too. Why not, right? But I shouldn't take too much credit, if you read the credits. I cut my hair and Ben and Marshall stopped hanging out with me until it grew back. Graham Janz
Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 22, 2020
