No Such Thing As Waste Songtext
von Formidable Vegetable

When I was a little kid
I liked to catch the rain
While my friends around the town
Let it flow right down the drain
But our tiny house in the trees
Had one thing that we drank
Every drop that we had saved
In our rainwater tank

Cos there′s no such thing as waste

Only stuff in the wrong place

No there's no such thing as waste

When we treasure every trace


Moved to the city, rented a house
On my way to buy a bed
Saw one lying on the side of the road
So I took that one instead
And I also found a fridge, a couch
And a big old sewing machine
In the biggest pile of thrown-out stuff
That I had ever seen!

But there′s no such thing as waste, woah no

Only stuff in the wrong place, yeah

I said there's no there's no such thing as waste

Better save it just in case

Well, we gotta refuse, reduce, reuse, repair then renew

Renew

I said refuse, reduce, reuse, repair then renew

You can get cool things out of the bin
You can compost every crumb
Save all the seeds, eat garden weeds
And give the rest back to your mum
It′s time we thunk about all our junk
To keep our planet clean
That ′W' word is so absurd
In a world of blue and green

Cos there′s no such thing as waste, woah no

Only stuff in the wrong place, yeah

I said there's no such thing as waste

That idea should be replaced


Cos there′s no such thing as waste, woah no

Only stuff in the wrong place

I said there's no such thing as waste

Only opportunity

To be
