lyrics

More of the same for the ones that care
Everybody seem to want despair
The questions are written in air
Do you really wanna see what’s hiding in there?
All you need to do is stare
But remember to fill out the questionnaire first

Boats and engines, liquor and weed.
Some of the things that make up worlds greed.
Spew out more shit and breed.
More babies means more mouths to feed.
Of all problems is that a problem we need?
Can we slow down? Live life in a different speed.

A goat, a farm, a meadow and a hen.
Can you show my wife and I what to condemn?
Everywhere we go we live creme de la creme.
Tell us if it’s time, you just gotta to say when.
The clock ticks, kids, women and men, gather around. Kiss a friend and hug a big tree stem.

There’s just not one way to behave.
Even though there’s a planet you’re trying to save.
These are times when one have to be brave.
Crash course in gluttony. What more do you crave?
Everybody acts like you were born a slave.
I’m sure it’s coming. Another green wave.

Fill up you belly, fill up your wife.
This world is dangling from the edge of a knife.
There’s always some conflict and strife.
To be honest there’s really not more to life.
If you close your eyes you’re in paradise.
Now open them up and watch the sunrise.

All you need, willpower and tact.
Then maybe spice it up with some blown up facts about hookers, and soldiers and sacked workers in a coal mine. They all just cracked.
Tell us how we should act.
A request way too abstract for you.

But please make it brief. I don’t have all day.
I’m fine and you’re fine, but I don’t have all day.
