Brain Washed
If only I could wash my brain
My mind would be so clean
Then certainly I would be so sane
And no way to be mean
I’d scrub away all the pain I had
Scrub away all the bad hair days
I'd scrub away, scrub away, scrub away
All the awful news that’s bad and sad
With soap-on-a-rope I-be-no-dope
With bubbles bobbling from my pot
With suds I’d be your bud
I’d change the world with a single thot
Never again would my head get hot
And everyone would think like me . . . NOT!
Yet everyone everywhere started to just have fun
No more head games, no more games that are lame
Just play, dance, and sing has a good ring to live by
Grow Money Trees where money were leaves
And everything purchased was for free
My head’s full of cotton candy rainbow dreams
I wish for the impossible possible plea
“Wake Up!” is what I’d scream
From this dream within a dream
"Let’s all wash our brains from the same river stream. "
