Trying to do the right thing

I drink fair trade coffee
and I eat line caught fish.
I know the air miles of my aubergine
before I put it in the fridge.

I’m trying to do the right thing.
It’s getting harder every day.
There are so many choices.
Please take some of them away!

I got myself a bag for life,
it lasted just four years.
I was so disillusioned,
it was bound to end in tears.

I’m trying to do the right thing.
It’s getting harder every day.
There are so many choices.
Please take some of them away!

I recycle all my rubbish,
but it messes with my brain.
To get it all in the right coloured bins
is like some complicated game.

I’m trying to do the right thing.
It’s getting harder every day.
There are so many choices.
Please take some of them away!

If we could go back to the old days,
it was so much simpler then.
We had strawberries in the summer time,
then they disappeared again.
We wouldn’t mess it up this time.
We’d give back what we took,
but no matter how hard we try
we can’t turn back the clock.

So I drink fair trade coffee
and I eat line caught fish.
I know the air miles of my aubergine
before I put it in the fridge.

I’m trying to do the right thing.
It’s getting harder every day.
There are so many choices.
Please take some of them away!
