progress, regress
one step forward, two steps back
been there done that
can't go back, the bridge has been burnt
it seemed like a good idea at the time

strategic thinking?
bosh, piffle
o bother siaid pooh
why bother, said me

this is america baybee
land of opportunity
surely there is some job out there

stick to the plan, the vision
the vision is utopian so its a little hard to see in these times
many non-utopian distractions.
they want to sell you the remedy for your unease
and create more
thats what the jerks in schools call a "bidness model"

their capitalist fantasies dominate the airwaves, if you clear your mind it's easy to see their bullshit
caveat emptor
the words that destroyed this paradise
the fruit of the forbidden tree
ignorant, and naked and afraid of bears
that's the life
but someone had to go get educated
someone thought with their great brain that they deserved more
and plotted and planned and 5000 years of civilization later, here we are

trying to scrape the last remaining swatches of green off the planet
the cities are asylums
mobs waiting to be whipped into a frenzy, should one of their cherished ideals be trampled

pavlovian conditioning still holding
greed still a powerful motivator
no notion of plenty
its harder to destroy the ocean than we thought, but we are almost there
we should be proud of our accomplishment
genocidal experts we throw parades for murderers

 why not a parade for the man that killed the ocean?

brought to you by dow, the bee killing people

have you poisoned your planet today?
then you aren't a true citizen
get out there and rape a redwood
sodomize a salmon
what are you waiting for, get you one fer they all gone
