[Verse 1]
C Well, there's a mountain on the bottle, E But it's coming from the tap Am F Take the water that you own and they sell it right back C E Am It's a citizen subsidized company infrastructure F G C Coca Cola, Nestle, and Pepsi working capital wonders F G C On the backs of the people at the forces to mow us all under
[Chorus]
F C It's the commodified necessities G Am You'd never understand the complexities. E7 Am F Somebody call up the doctor F G Cancer's up, mental illness is up C Drink your water
[Verse 2]
C E There's a reservoir of water, a municipal station. Am F There's pumps and there's pipes and the taxes you're paying C E And there's billions of bottles and three bucks a pop Am F Full of a pennies worth of water that you already bought C E Am F Ask any fish and he'll tell you blub blub is fantastic C See turtles wearing necklaces G C Starving with a gut full of plastic
[Chorus]
F C It's the commodified necessities G Am You'll never understand the complexities E7 Am Somebody call up a doctor F G Cancer's up, mental illness is up C Drink your water
[Verse 3]
F Fm In drought and in fire and natural disaster C Am They keep making the bottles going faster and faster Dm Am Dm Am Filling the sky with their formaldehyde G N.C. All the while they got the gall to tell me and you C Don't forget to recycle
