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. "
