Ring the bell
The plastic’s here
Meltdown, meltdown
The atmosphere

Plastic plastic on your shelf
Is it really good for your health?

Who cares? It’s making money for the Hong Kong Gong
If you can’t see that, something’s gone wrong
But you can’t tell cos you’ve never seen the light
You’ve always been told what’s wrong and right
So doped up you don’t feel a thing
Until you hear the Hong Kong Gong ring

2nd July 2023 – During my life, there were various countries that were associated with manufacturing cheap plastic items. In the late 70s, as memorialised by the Epileptics, it was Hong Kong, then still controlled by UK. Other poorer Asian countries would then take their turn even as their products improved and eventually, as in the case of China, they took over such a large percentage of manufacturing that innovation started taking place there instead. Many in the West spent their time scoffing at hard-working Asians struggling to make a couple of dollars a day whilst they sat around getting fat, lazy and smug.
