Recyclable

Recyclable

Recyclable
I'm not just
made outta tin metal
Once full but now empty
Crush me kick me
Toss me but
you just can't
You can't kill me
I cannot be rid of
I'm here to stay

I lie here
sharp gravels
scratching at my coat
shrieking, shredding
scream obscenities
I cannot be shamed
Made outta thin metal
Aint no heaven for me
no hell can burn hotter

Hey
What's my name
Don't just choose that
Check me for dents
Making such a fuss
You're gonna crush me anyway
Do I taste alright?
You find out
I'll just go on renewing myself

Recyclable

I'm recyclable

What was once full
Will be empty
What was once crushed
Will be renewed
What doesn't kill me
Can only make me stronger

There are more like me

Deflated crushed
dented deformed
Waiting to be recycled
They were once full
but now empty
When's this gonna end
We are here to stay

Recyclable

A new generation
we ain't gonna give a damn
Ruin our paint, someday
we'll get a better coat
Throw us,
we'll just come back
better than ever
Don't think we give in easily
I'm made outta thin metal
You're probably that big gravel
You can break me even
But there's always one day
when I'll come back and say
Hey

I'm recyclable
