Trash is Piling Up in the Living Room

 

Trash is Piling Up in the Living Room - Mix 2

 This is the next song in the series of songs where I'm attempting to sound like a bunch of people in a church singing so exuberantly that they sound drunk. In this song they're apologizing to the earth for trashing her, basically. 

The lyrics are:

Trash is piling up in the living room, in the living room; trash is piling up in the living room tonight

This is a musical apology to the earth
We trashed your living room and we'll way this, for what it's worth
We apologize; we apologize
Everything that's bad is our fault and we feel like dirt

Trash is piling up in the living room, in the living room; trash is piling up in the living room tonight

We are sad and we're singing inside this country church
We've been bad – we're asking God to help us in our search
For an apology; for an apology
We want to say that we are sorry to Mother Earth

We have the audacity to call her
“Mother Earth” - who the fuck treats their mother
Like we do? Trashing her living room
We think our comeuppance is coming soon
That sounds very ominous but we think that it's true
We were bad to mama, thus there's nothing we can do
Nevertheless we will apologize for
Being bad to Earth, who gave birth to us: We are sorry

Trash is piling up in the living room, in the living room; trash is piling up in the living room tonight

Will this apology make any difference at all?
Still we have to try cuz this feels like it is our calling
To apologize; to apologize
To the Earth; we beg forgiveness; on our knees we crawl

Trash is piling up in the living room, in the living room; trash is piling up in the living room tonight

Here's the other little player thingy, in case you like it better than the top one:
