This song is also available on Ants on a Log album Make It Myself.
When your car is sick
and you’re not sure that it will make it through the day
a little smog's not great but if it’s quite a lot then we're in trouble
and that’s why we need the EPA.
Lots of factories
are built right next to rivers and to streams
and all the waste that they create can't just be thrown into the water
the EPA makes sure they keep it clean.
Chorus
EPA
The referee in the game of life
Fighting for the Earth
EPA
The lawyer whose client is the public and the people
To remind us what our health is worth.
“Well I own a factory.”
“You do?!”
“Yes, and I only dump 10 cloggety-clog-fulls of muckety-muck in the river every day.”
“Muckety-muck? Every day?! That's a lot.”
“No it's not.”
“That's a lot.”
“No it's not.”
“That's a lot.”
“No it's not.”
“That's terrible! Well, I wish there were some impartial researched based organization, maybe government run, that could just tell us what's a lot and what's not a lot.”
“Yeah, I wish that too!”
Chorus
