lyrics

When I go out to the supermarket
Every time I go there, well what do I get?
Whatever I buy, no matter how small
They're trying to give me something I don't need at all

I don't need a bag!

If you ask me, well I think it's dumb
To give someone a sack of plastic for gum
And a bag of chips, it's plain to see
Come's in a motherlovin' bag already!

You don't need a bag for a bag!

I don't need a bag if you please
I'm doing my part to save the trees
I don't need a bag baby can't you see
I'm doing my thing for the ecology, economy, biology

Well the supermarket clerk takes what I got
Sticks it in a bag like a funky robot
You think as a customer I'd have some kind of choice
But I've got to scream at the top of my voice:

I DON'T NEED A BAG!

The United States is coming to a stand still
There's no room in the funky land fill
The next time you're in a convenience store
Please think twice before

You ask for a bag. You don't need a bag!

I don't need a bag if you please
I'm doing my part against industrial disease
I don't need a bag baby can't you see
I'm doing my thing for the ecology, economy, biology
