about
The quintessential punk rock song of the album garners its name from one of my favorite punk rock bands, No Use For A Name, combined with the modern-day environmental catastrophe of single use plastics making their way into our oceans. From the age of 10, the raw spirit and energy of punk rock has always stuck with me as a form of protest and call for social change. Along with many other global non-profits my friends at Plastic Ocean Project in Wilmington and Eco Marines in Brisbane, Australia are making headway in exposing, educating, and finding solutions to the issue. They are empowering the next generation to be aware of the mistakes previous generations have made and unfortunately clean up our/their mess. I borrowed a couple names in the song from my niece and the son of one my life long surfing buddies.
lyrics
My name is Waylon and I am a whale
A mysticete filter feeder chasing small krill
But my baleen doesn’t discriminate
I have to swallow whatever I ate
Plastics are bad
Bottles are worse
Straws and balloons and bags are a curse
Trash that has only been used one time
Beware of lost nets and loose fishing line
They call me Marie, I’m a turtle of the sea
My favorite food is jellyfish, a delicacy
But underwater plastic bags look similar
Which is why every time they make my tummy hurt
Plastics are bad
Bottles are worse
Straws and balloons and bags are a curse
Trash that has only been used one time
Beware of lost nets and loose fishing line
I’m a punk rock pufferfish, an underwater activist
Protest oil rigs, hate single use packaging
We don’t like to swim in your loo
So keep our ocean free from your poo
Have you ever been tangled in a net or a rope?
Or swallowed something whole that your mother said, “Don’t!”
And you begin to choke…
Now imagine no hands,
Just flippers and fins
Don’t start panicking
This is not the end
No! Because we’re going to save ocean from plastic pollution!
