[Verse 1]

I met a member of Generation X

"Hey, what's in with you kids these days?

I'm so old, I'll prob'ly never have heard of it"

And he replied, "Purple Haze"

Purple Haze, Purple Haze

[Verse 2]

Now, I know that we should separate our garbage

The environment will give us thanks

It's goin' too far when teenagers recycle

Their parents' adolescent angst

[Chorus]

Do you want to save the world?

Well, don't recycle, don't recycle

Do you want to save the world?

Well, don't recycle, don't recycle

[Bridge]

Monday night is (Fifties night)

Tuesday night is (Sixties night)

Wednesday night is (Seventies night)

Friday night is Thursday night!

[Verse 3]

Paul McCartney once said the Sex Pistols

Were another band playin' Chuck Berry

At the time I thought, "You boring old wanker"

(Now, I think it's downright scary)

[Chorus]

Do you want to save the world?

Well, don't recycle, don't recycle

Do you want to save the world?

Well, don't recycle, don't recycle

[Outro]

(Garbage!) Don't recycle, don't recycle

(Garbage!) Don't recycle, don't recycle
