Story Behind The Song
One day I saw vinyl records and furniture sitting out on the pavement waiting to be taken to the tip as the result of a house clearance. It was a sad scene. That scene inspired the song.

Lyrics
Vinyl records on the sidewalk
On the pavement on the street
Furniture at the junk yard
In the trash can
While we just sleep
We're throwing away our culture
Our culture, our culture
We're throwing away our culture
Our culture
As I speak
Drones fill the sky
They're keeping their eye
On you and me
Information overload
Just do as you're told
Here comes a cold front
We're throwing away our culture
Our culture, our culture
We're throwing away our culture
Our culture
As I speak, yeah
We've giving up ground
We're losing our sound
We're lost in this town
Our buildings are dust
Our motors are rust
Our temperature's way down
Rags and bones
Rollin' Stones
Hearts and homes
They're throwing away our culture
Our culture, our culture
They're throwing away our culture
Our culture
I just weep
