A Better Place

Give me an island to myself So I can be on my surf board All day long I will follow the kites Taking me into the skies There is no water Around the island Only an ocean of milk There are no mountains Only ruins from the last war There is no food on the island Only cockroaches and mice There is no reason to leave the island As happiness is a few continents away Who wants to connect to the past When you live in the present On an island You can have to yourself But is owned by the nuclear industry And used for many experiments It was called Fukushima And has seen better times
