Lyrics

Plastic people
You gotta go
(Chee poppa doodly woppa)

Plastic people
You gotta go
(Yeah!)

A fine little girl
She waits for me
She's as plastic
As she can be
She paints her face
With plastic goo
And wrecks her hair
With some shampoo

Plastic people
You gotta go
(Chee poppa doodly woppa)

Plastic people
You gotta go

Three nights and days
I walk the streets
This town is full
Of plastic creeps
Their shoes are brown
To match their suits
They got no balls
They got no roots

Because they're plastic people
You gotta go
(Wop wop wop doody wop wop)

Plastic people
You gotta go
(O-oh!)

Take a day
Walk around
Watch the plastics
Run your town
Then go home
And check yourself
You think I'm singing
'Bout someone else

But you're plastic people
You gotta go
(Bye bye! Bye bye!)

Plastic people
You gotta go

Chee poppa doodly woppa
Chee poppa doodly woppa
Chee poppa doodly woppa
Chee poppa doodly woppa (This is fun!)

Doodly doodly doodly doodly woppa
Chee poppa doodly woppa (Hey hey hey!)
Poppa doodly woppa
Chee poppa doodly woppa (You're the freaks!)

(This is the sensitive part ...)

Me see a neon
Moon above
I searched for years
And found no love
I'm sure that love
Will never be
A product of
Plasticity

Plastic people
You gotta go
(Bye bye! Bye bye!)

Plastic people
You gotta go
(And I'm not fooling you)

Plastic people
I said, you gotta go
(Bop, bop, bop)

Plastic people, bop, bop
Plastic people, bop, bop
Made it out and bop bop bop
And you can fade it, da da da
