People walk down the street and drop litter at your feet
Everybody throws away things they bought yesterday
Don’t worry about the waste from your factory
You can throw it into the sea
It makes me mad, it makes me angry
When I think of all the things that we could do
To make the world a better place for the human race
City streets are full of cars trying to find a place to park
And juggernauts with heavy loads drive along our country roads
They’ve got to get there today
So let’s build another motorway
It makes me mad, it makes me angry
When I think of all the things that we could do
To make the world a better place for the human race
To make the world a better place for the human race
World a better place …

This is a topic-based song, which highlights two environmental problems – waste and traffic/road building.
Key vocabulary – litter, waste, juggernaut.
The word juggernaut can refer to a powerful force, but also to a large heavy vehicle, especially an articulated lorry, which is the case here.
