Take Out the Trash

There is one thing this country needs, Take out the trash, including foreign greed. We have to find a way to turn it all around, Find some alternative to fossil fuel which is drilled from great depths buried in the ground. We have some of the most educated people right here in our own land, I just don’t think they see the problem or really understand. Crude oil is being used as a tool or a weapon to rip us apart, Not a whole lot of difference than placing a knife in our heart. We can all do a part to help it end, A little shoe leather or riding with a friend. Get out the old bicycle it’ll help the old heart. Conserve all that you can that’ll be doing your part. Let one neighbor do the shopping for all, Stay home a little more instead of living at the mall. If we quit consuming so much I think the prices will drop, And start demanding a little courtesy wherever you shop. If they refuse to comply then refuse to buy, There are those out there that understand and will comply. We are on the verge of a frenzy that’s devouring our old ways, Our values, which we cherished seem to be mere words these days. So let’s stand for what we know is right, Make a commitment and do it tonight.
