I was driving down Richard Arrington Boulevard one day
It was raining and I pulled up to a stoplight
My windshield wipers were going
And I was thinking about some of the very same things you heard previously on this record here
I didn't have any friends
I was running out of money
Nobody wanted to see me or talk to me
And my CD player was broke
So I had the radio on
Wasn't much to listen to
And while I was sitting at that stoplight
Watching my windshield wipers go in the rain
I heard Katy Perry come on the radio
She was singing that song about drifting through the wind
I said "You know what Katy?"
It ain't so bad to be a bag
Don't you feel so sad if you are a bag
It ain't so bad to be a bag
Don't you feel so bad if you are a bag
Fireworks might dazzle for awhile
But it's all just a fading smile
Give me something that will last
Not just somebody who's shooting past
It ain't so bad to be a bag
Don't you feel so sad if you are a bag
It ain't so bad to be a bag
Don't you feel so bad if you are a bag
A plastic bag's just waitin' to give you help
With what you can't carry by yourself
A firework just disappears
But a plastic bag lasts a thousand years
It ain't so bad to be a bag
Don't you feel so sad if you are a bag
It ain't so bad to be a bag
Don't you feel so bad if you are a bag
I know that you might feel empty
Like you got a dull role in modern society
Well don't just wad me up and throw me away
I'll be you're friend, day after day
It ain't so bad to be a bag
Don't you feel so sad if you are a bag
It ain't so bad to be a bag
Don't you feel so bad if you are a bag
