Some notes: Mr. Atta is Mohammed Atta, one of the hijackers who drove planes full of Americans into American skyscrapers and the Pentagon on 9/11/2001. Putin is Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Sci-Rebels is a anti-fossil-fuel group.
Don't destroy my beautiful day The Azaleas are blooming, the chipmunks play The roses unique, the hydrangea white From the west comes an unusual clear, pure, light. Mr. Atta, don't destroy my life and my day Holy war drives you, ideals can't betray But after work in the World Trade, 93rd floor I was planning to surf off the Jersey shore. Putin don't ruin my beautiful day The fields are green, the sky a pearl gray A missile hits a target, the target's my home All I really asked was to be left alone Sci-Rebels please don't glue yourself to the floor The planet won't mend, but your hand will get sore Whatever the cause, within reason please stay So the rest of us can enjoy this beautiful day. Please don't destroy my beautiful day The sunrise is amazing across Casco bay The sailboats come in, wheeling sea gulls cry And though beauty must end, and humans must die Don't be part of the problem, a runaway train No peace for mankind when the fire's in your brain.
