Tough Decisions (a Whale Is Gonna Die) Lyrics - Rhett And Link

Paper 

Or plastic 

Presents itself as a decision with an obvious answer 

You pick paper 'cause the plastic will end up in the ocean 

Giving a whale cancer 

But did you know that 

The paper in this bag is made from the prickly peckerwood tree 

Which happens to be 

The residency of the dwarf winged beaver bee 

And when the dwarf winged beaver bees no longer have 

Homes in which to go, then I think you should know 

That they've been known to reconstruct their hives 

Right inside those same whale's blowholes 

So you 

Can weigh 

All these factors before you choose to decide 

But either way 

Know this

(A whale is gonna die) 

No matter what you choose 

(A whale is gonna die) 

No matter what you do 

(A whale is gonna die) 

Dine in 

Or take out 

An inconsequential question at the fast food restaurant 

So you take it to go 

Then on the way home, you know you start to smelling those 

French fries, so you reach in the bag 

And take your eyes off the road 

And drive straight off a bridge 

And who knows what's in the water below 

So you should've dined in 

But if you dined in you decide to shake salt on those fries 

With the shaker that the previous guy 

Coughed on, and then you rub your eyes 

Oh no, the next morning you wake up 

With a wicked face itch you drive to urgent care 

With your eyes swelled shut then you 

Drive off the very same bridge from when you didn't dine in 

And did I mention 

Both times you hit 

A whale

(A whale is gonna die) 

No matter what you choose 

(A whale is gonna die) 

No matter what you do 

(A whale is gonna die) 

It's gonna be okay 

Except in the case you're a whale 

(A whale is gonna die)
