Doom

They don’t believe the Earth is dying Slowly, painfully, day by day They think that money can fix the problems For the few they admit, they sit and pray They think money can fix the problems Surgeries to make you thin Pills to make you eat less Cars to fit into the world’s newfound laziness Politicians thinking they can just quit Who are avoiding the whole issue They say that they want to fix it All want us to think they ‘think green’ Laziness is the new epidemic Vaccines the new health food When veggies cost more than cupcakes You know this world is doomed We’re stuck in a downward spiral Laziness, asthmatics, childhood obesity… What more do I need to say? We brought this on ourselves, yet they don’t see Factories on every corner Driving to the corner and back Gas guzzlers, smoke stacks, oil fires They wonder why the sky is turning black Las Vegas is the new Phoenix And Michigan the Alaska Hurricanes in January Tornadoes in November They turn a blind eye Though we all know they see it Money has all the answers Let’s see the new cars in ’08 Give it ten years if that Then maybe they’ll realize The sorrowful mistakes they’ve made They’ll be forced to open their eyes We’re all doomed, you know? It’s only a matter of time Whether we freeze or we boil Is a choice we all have to make Stop the disaster now If not that then slow If we don’t do something today Well, I think this you all know.
