Lyrics

I’ve got seven plastic pen caps in my brain
I’ve got seven plastic pen caps in my brain
There’s no need to wonder why
I can no longer recite pi
I’ve got seven plastic pen caps in my brain.

Or they say that I could see it as a spoon
The pen caps could all just be one plastic spoon
That’s exactly what they said:
These little legos in my head
Add up to seven plastic pen caps or a spoon.

You might think I’m being spastic
Bout injesting microplastic
But my friends I didn’t ask
For this enhancement of my gasket
(Instrumental break)

We’ve got seven plastic pen caps in our brains
We’ve got seven plastic pen caps in our brains
There’s no need to wonder why
We voted for that stupid guy
We’ve got seven plastic pen caps
Or a big ol’ plastic spoon
In our water and our air
And all the garbage everywhere
And the plastic stash keeps growing
We can’t bring ourselves to care
Cause we’ve got too much friggin plastic in our brains!
