Make it plastic make it pay
  use it up and throw away
  make another just the same, more or less
  
  burn our time down to size
  send it up into the skies
  hide the evidence with lies, what a mess
  
  but we've just come from a meeting
  and we're sure you'd like to know
  there'll be deep blue skies and clear blue waters
  everywhere you go
  
  'cos everything's coming up roses
  or so they tell you
  coming up smelling of roses
  or so they say
  yes everything's coming up roses
  or so they tell you
  coming up smelling of roses
  or so they say
  
  in the name of energy
  we give our problems to the sea
  but they'll be back for you and me
  in or haste, we forget
  leaving our mistakes behind
  out of sight is out of mind
  our disposable mankind
  what a waste
  
  but we've talked to the experts
  and they know a thing or two
  they say it's all hunky dory
  there's nothing for you to do
  
  'cos everything's coming up roses
  or so they tell you
  coming up smelling of roses
  or so they say
  yes everything's coming up roses
  or so they tell you
  coming up smelling of roses
  or so they say
  
  but it's an awful price to pay
  believing everything they say
  here tomorrow gone today
  so take me home to the red red skies and the
  brown, brown grass and the black, black seas
  and the broken glass and the dead, dead trees
  but everything's coming up roses
  or that's what they tell you
  
  'cos everything's coming up roses
  or so they tell you
  coming up smelling of roses
  or so they say
  yes everything's coming up roses
  or so they tell you
  coming up smelling of roses
  or so they say
  
  'cos everything's coming up roses
