"Cancer's Up" lyrics

"Cancer's Up"

Well, there's a mountain on the bottle, but it's coming from the tap
Take the water that you own, and they sell it right back
It's a citizen-subsidize company infrastructure
Coca Cola and Nestle, and Pepsi working capital wonders on the backs of the people
Ride the forces to mow us all under

It's the commodified necessities
You'd never understand the complexities
Somebody, call up the doctor
Cancer's up, mental illness is up
Drink your water

There's a reservoir water, a municipal station
There's pumps and there's pipes in the taxes you're paying
And there's billions of bottles at three bucks a pop
Full of a penny's worth of water that you already bought
Ask any fish and he'll tell you, it's fantastic
Sea turtles wearing necklaces starving with a gut full of plastic

It's the commodified necessities
You'd never understand the complexities
Somebody, call up the doctor
Cancer's up, mental illness is up
Drink your water

In drought and in fire, and natural disaster
They keep making the bottles going faster and faster
Filling the sky
With their formaldehyde
All the while they got the gall to tell me, "And you don't forget to recycle."
