A Disposable Life

from A Disposable Life by Peter Galperin

lyrics

(verse 1)
Bought some organic groceries,
High-priced fruits and veggies too.
Though I’m not a certified healthnut,
I might be one, compared to you.
I really should read more closely,
Labels with an expiration date,
Because it seems I’m always tossing
Out items meant for my dinner plate.

(chorus)
I need to hold on tightly,
Or I’ll end up with a disposable life.
I need to hold on tightly,
Or I’ll end up with a disposable life.

(verse 2)
Cell phones ringing in my pocket,
But it’s been acting kind of strange,
It’s time for a serious upgrade,
Cause I always seem to be out of range.
The toner light is flashing,
Begging for a fresh cartridge or two.
It’s too late to go to Kinkos,
I’ll just shake it up, and hope that’ll do.

(verse 3)
I can’t buy distressed clothing,
Shouldn’t that happen naturally,
So that all the tears and tatters
mean something special, especially to me.
