One too many trees has hit the ground To satisfy my desire And one too many starving kids has been let down To satisfy my desire
We need instant coffee with taste And we need someplace to dump our toxic waste One too many politicians talks with haste To satisfy my dear taste
It's just a matter of taste Our dear taste It's such a bloody waste
Such a bloody waste
One too many factory ships has cast its nets To satisfy my desire And one too many Third World countries is in debt To satisfy my desire
We must leave the poor to their fates Coz we've got far too much on our plates One too many politicians talks with hateful haste To satisfy my dear taste
It's just a matter of taste Our dear taste It's such a bloody waste
It's so easy To be precious It's so easy to forget It's such a waste Such a bloody waste
Such a bloody waste Such a bloody waste Such a bloody waste
