You left us with a mess, of tangled corporate tentacles, of suffering beyond belief
Cutesy humongous mansions heated with hand-me-down debt
Or cooled in the heat of summertime with cheap, easy credit
It could have been wonderful, natural and sustainable
Instead, it’s polluted, with the golden years well behind us
Isn’t that perfect, daddy remembers swimming the rivers
Just long enough for wonderful dreams
Then, in pursuit of endless consumption, free lunches and freedom 55
The rivers turned murky, some completely dried up
Mostly the fish died as a tribute to industry
The amphibian genocide following next--
A small price to pay for green grass and symmetrical gardens
We’ve got mercury in our salmon, but our smiles are so damn white
We’ve got lead in our freshest water, but I can get nowhere on time
Look at us now! Little post-modern babies mucking around
In twenty-first century filth, let’s all get our landfill
Watch for syringes in the park! Or else...
Sex with a condom, or else...
Not syphilis? Or dog piss, or even fine particulate matter in your lungs
We’ve got Monsanto on our brains! On our brains!
In your cup and in your blood, Dupont and the Gestapo
Dow chemical, carbide, petro plastic powdery nightmare
Aluminum what? Fluoridian mindfuck? It’s not the micro doseage
Of heavy metals...nope
It’s the cocktail of over two-hundred and forty
Household cleaners, gasoline additives, steroids and hormones for livestock
Such remnants of the party seen floating in your maniacal martini
A chlorinated beverage
A fluoridated ice cube
A herbicidal salad
A lithium sandwich
Or an oil-slicked six course, seafood delight from Alaska
Then put out the fucking trash...
