lyrics

I said I ordered a smoothie out in California
They served it to me with a paper straw
I wasn’t amused, but I wanted to be hip
So I plopped it in and I took a sip
This tastes like shit
This tastes like shit

I tried to choke down the rest of this organic smoothie
It cost me $7.42 I’ll be damned if they screw me
Just then I looked down at my half drunken drink
To find my straw had turned to mush
By God, I’ve been hoodwinked
So, I said hey mr. owner man bring back plastic straws for me

We’ll see

I mean it’s just so trendy now
Basic bitch
I don’t care about the environment, but other people pretend to care about the environment
And those people pay me money, so I’ll pretend to care about the environment
Trendy AF
Don’t you wanna look cool in front of your friends?
Put your paper straws on your instagrams
Hashtag

The next day I returned with a distasteful request
For their last plastic straw
Something they’d never guess
The staff looked frantic searching, viewing me as an outlaw
She handed it to me
I said I’ve had it that’s the last straw
