This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast
Delicious and piping hot in only three microwave minutes.
Yo, pretty packages of frosted delights
Look, it comes with a toy hehe, I like that.
I wanna number four, a number six, and throw in a plastic doughnut
Just enjoy the gritty crunch, it tastes just like chicken.
Wrappers of many bit sizes
Man, are you freakin' blind? That's a rock.
All mixed in the pot for momma's homemade from scratch, well, not quite.
Toasted over flames, they be tasting quite right.
All hail King Neptune and his water breathers
No snail thing to quick for his water feeders
Don't waste time with your network, our net worth is set ready, go.
Many know others, but
We be the colors of the mad and the wicked
We be bad, we be brickit with the twenty four hour sign
Shower my habits while you dine like rabbits
With the crunchy, crunchy carrots (that's chicken)
Gotta have it superfast!
(A whole lot of breakfast you got time for!)
Superfast superfast, I come in last, but just in time for breakfast
Keep it through, keep it through, forever blue
Tonight's the night for?
Aluminum I crush your f.u.n aluminum
The sea is radioactive
The sea is radioactive
All hail King Neptune and his water breathers
No snail thing to quick for his water feeders
Don't waste time with your network, our net worth is set, ready, go.
Many know others, but
We be the colors of the mad and the wicked
We be bad, we be brickit with the twenty four hour sign
Shower my habits while you dine like rabbits
With the crunchy, crunchy carrots (that's chicken)
Gotta have it superfast!
Superfast superfast, I come in last, but just in time for breakfast
Keep it through, Keep it through, forever blue
Tonight's the night for?
Aluminum I crush your f.u.n aluminum
The sea is radioactive
The sea is radioactive
Superfast Jellyfish
Superfast Jellyfish
Superfast Jellyfish (Don't waste time!)
Superfast Jellyfish
Superfast Jellyfish
Delicious and piping hot in only three microwave minutes.

It's saying how we are so focused on eating fast, not spending time on stuff that we're willing to eat "rock"s and "plastic doughnut"s. Somewhat similar to the theme in 19-2000.
I saw those washing themselves of their habits as those who are profiting from the some of the questionable practices of the food industry (eg fast food moguls) and those who are profiting from impacting it in a negative way (eg polluters) absolving themselves of their social sins in whatever meaning works for them while the masses eat poisoned and mutated animals.
"that's chicken" - refers to the consumers being misled and not wanting to believe that what they are eating is not chicken.
"aluminum, nutrition from, aluminum" - this is not the only site that reports this as "aluminum, I crush for fun aluminum". Weird because I hear "aluminum, nutrition food, aluminum". However it is I think it refers to the fact that we are consuming dangerous refined elements in a variety of ways and they invariably end up in the food chain. Since we even eat stuff that we really shouldn't (in the name of convenience and profit) we end up consuming these things as food when they are really poison.
"yo, pretty packages of frosted delights,
look! it comes with a tallboy, heh heh i like that"
tallboy is a 24oz can of beer, speaking of some humans bad habits of overindulgence
"don't waste time with ya net, our net worth is set, ready go"
don't waste time trying to fish because there are none, hence eating the jellyfish, (which are breeding in record numbers right now because of climate change)
"shower-mind habits, while you dyin' like rabbits, with the crunchy crunchy cabbage,
gota have it, super fast"
shower mind habits i believe is the same as mind-shower, which is the P.C. way to say brainstorm (that being offensive to epileptics), so they are brainstorming while the rest of us are dying like rabbits (a prey animal) with our cabbage, another word for money, and "gota have it super fast" speaks of our need for instant gratification, not caring about long term consequences.
"aluminum, nutrition from, aluminum"
aluminum is not good for you especially in high doses, as we have lots of trash that is made of it
I think that most of this album is about pollution, climate change and other things humanity has done to screw up the earth, and now its catching up with us. The Plastic Beach is the end result of what will happen when we continue to fill the oceans with our garbage, The Great Pacific Garbage Patch being the leading example, the plastic and trash there does not break down, it gets smaller as it is worn, so eventually all the beaches will be plastic not sand. This is deadly for sea life, jellyfish are the only ocean dwellers that are in a population boom because of climate change.
First of all, I am pretty sure the lyrics are "It comes with a toy." This, coupled with the "throw in the plastic doughnut!" comment are what i believe to be expressions of the many various way in which our society uses plastic in very unnecessary and wasteful ways.
I think your jellyfish comment is genius, but as far as the lyric, I think the "don't waste time with your net, our net worth is set" part is simply a reference to the sheer number of jellyfish, meaning that you don't have to waste time catching them with a net, they'll be jumping in the boat, and that is why their "net worth is set," meaning they are surely going to make money.
The next part I believe it says "Shower my habits while you dine like rabbits with the crunchy crunchy carrots." I believe this part is in reference to people who eat healthy and don't take part in the fast food industry. What I mean to say is, the person singing is supposed to be someone who eats fast food very often ("shower my habits" meaning their habit of eating fast food, making the next comment of "gotta have it" fit very well) and they are mocking people who eat healthy because mocking them makes them feel better about eating so poorly.
I'm not sure about the actual lyrics in the aluminum part, but I think you hit the nail on the head as far as the fact that it is a non-decomposing material used in many places in our everyday lives including, as I think this is referencing, fast-food wrappers.
Your last paragraph on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch was exactly what I was thinking.
"This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast
Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes."
- This song is only a commercial in this world. From the beginning, you know that this food is fake, due to having to microwave it, unlike hand-made food.
"Just enjoy the gritty crunch it tastes just like chicken
Wrappers of many bite size
Man, are you freakin' blind?
It's a rock
All mixed into pot for
Mama's home made from scratch, well not quite"
- Explaining how the food is fake, and unhealthy for you, but they're still trying to sell it!
"Superfast, superfast, I come in last
But just in time for breakfast
Keep it through, keep it true
Forever blue
Tonight, the night goes out to
Aluminum, I crush your fun, aluminum
The sea is (radioactive?)
The sea is (radioactive?)"
- It's the jingle for the commercial.
While i was listening, i heard a voice in the background say
"The sea...has gone silent"
I'm assuming the ocean is dead, therefore there can't possibly any jellyfish. This leads me back to calling the food fake. Everything Is fake, but they sell it to you through fancy jingles.
sounds like:
Keep it sweet, keep it sweet, forever blue (there's backing vox that make the sweet sound like "swu")
The night, the night froze/force/for'those/for's actors
Luminum/lumin'em (as in light) a crucial fun/fund, aluminum
To see is/us radioactive OR to see his radio acting
this fits the bill for music industry commentary. dig??
"Don't waste time with your net" is a shot at fast-food companies. For example, we can barbecue our own burgers, but we can also go to Wendy's and get a burger in 2 minutes for a little more money. Albarn's quoted as saying "(jellyfish) will have to taste good, otherwise we're in trouble."
Also in the beginning when they're talking about getting food (I'm assuming at a fast food restaurant) I feel like that was meant to be taken as them having the munchies or something ya know?
