The Touch

I've got an idea I'm pretty sure will work Let's all pitch in together And ruin everything we touch We'll start off quite haphazardly With the world we live in Taking to task our best to trash The air, the sea, the land We'll take what nature's given us In the finest we could eat Then add chemicals at intervals Nah, just pour it in quickly We'll all choose sides to live by And base it all on love Then learn to hate those in our way That do not think like us We'll ruin our relationships With technology of the day Doing all we can with phone in hand Instead of dealing face to face We'll start murdering the innocent And call it all a choice It's much easier to do away with them When they don't have a voice We'll pick up guns and call it fun Then start shooting everyone Then complain whose to blame Till again nothing gets done We'll even give it a shot tossing in our lot Being our own gods Pull moral compass out point it due South As we all get lost Of course it's just an idea Of ruining everything we touch As long as we start with what we're good at What could possibly go wrong
