lyrics

I 4 35 Exit 17, Missouri
From a high fly Toronto plane, with no worry
I drive my own personal highway, to a land I bought out right
But here in the KC county, something ruins my sight

It's real American garbage, spilling on the ground like porridge
Real American garbage, my landscape is tarnished

Endless corn grows to the left, and mighty farms are on our right
On the Northwest Barry road, these are the first sights
Tires blown and litter thrown, all over the ground
Rotting away Midwest decay, Truman starts to frown

At real American garbage, spilling on the ground like porridge
Real American garbage, my landscape is tarnished

Out on a Kansas road, saw the words Yang Ming
On a truck of unknown origin, that was littering
Could that be a Danish name, Lativan, Croatian or from Spain
Giving the Swedes benefit of the doubt, but really this is all about
Garbage!

2 Litres full of Apple juice, flying on the highway excused
From the truck titled Yang Ming, can't assume it's an Asian thing
You never know with folks these days, crazy for something to slay
They should focus on real issues, that require more tissues

Like real American garbage, spilling on the ground like porridge
Real American garbage, my landscape is tarnished
There's real American garbage, turning the land to a carcass
Real American garbage, the highway's not your storage
