Big Yellow Taxi

The song ‘Big Yellow Taxi’The songwriter is against globalisation. The song states ‘They took all the trees and put em’ in a tree museum’. From this statement, it shows that the songwriter thinks that globalisation has made us take for granted our environment and what was there for everyone is now controlled and limited. The song also states ‘They paved paradise and put up a parking lot’. Which also shows that the songwriter feels that globalisation has controlled many things that used to be abundant. The songwriter is probably against globalisation as the tone of the song seems to be very sarcastic .
