Ocean Drain
Ginger Lyrics

Sunset at the beach
Ginger is visualizing a sunset over the beach

Staring at the sea
Ginger is looking at the ocean

It seems to just go on
The ocean looks endless

Mmmmmmm
Ginger is humming

We live in an ocean drain
The world today is like an ocean full of waste and pollution.

We can't refuse a fight
We have to stand up and fight against pollution

Let's make a stand tonight
We should do something about pollution today

You wake up the next day
After a long day, it's a new day today

Mmmmmmmm
Ginger is humming again

Putting it off again
We procrastinate in taking steps against pollution

I switched to enthanol
Ginger is trying to make some changes by switching to a less polluting fuel source

And turned the taps down low
She is trying to save water by reducing faucet usage

But don't throw out my Raid
Ginger is still using chemical pesticides which are harmful to the environment

A cockroach I can't take
She can't bear to live with cockroaches

We live in a selfish age
People are only thinking about themselves and not the environment

It's coming back tonight
The pollution is returning back to harm the environment again

To change my way of life
It's time to make changes towards a more sustainable lifestyle

We've known it all along
We've always known about the harm we cause to the environment

This can't keep going on
We cannot continue polluting our environment

Livin' in our own waste
We are living in our own trash

I separate the trash
Ginger is segregating trash into recyclables and non-recyclables

And save my cans for cash
She is selling aluminum cans for money

But not without my car
She is still using her car regardless of its environmental impact

I'll only go so far
She is willing to make some changes, but not drastic ones

Ohhh
Ginger is singing

We said the same old things before
We have been talking about making changes for years, but nothing significant has been done

Let's stop it now before it gets worse but then
We need to take action before it's too late, but it's hard to do

You'd be the first
It's hard to take action when not many people are willing to

And I'll
Ginger takes on the perspective of someone unwilling to make changes

Be facing death
Refusing to make changes means facing the possibility of a bleak future

Before it'll actually make an impact
It's hard to see how individual actions will make a significant difference to the environment

It's slowly flowing down
The filth and garbage is slowly being carried towards the sea

It's seeping through the ground
Garbage is seeping through the soil into the water tables and rivers

And here it comes to me
The garbage and pollution is reaching her personally

This sewer called the sea
The sea is being treated like a sewer

We live in an ocean drain
The song repeats its main message

Ohhh
Song ends with Ginger singing
