"I sometimes feel like an alien creature
for which there is no earthly explanation.
Sure I have human form, walking erect and opposing digits,
but my mind is upside down. I feel like a run-on sentence in a punctuation crazy world. and I see the world around me like a mad collective dream. An endless stream of people move like ants from the freeway, cell phones, pc's, and digital displays "In Money We Trust," we'll find happiness the prevailing attitude; like a genetically modified irradiated Big Mac
is somehow symbolic of food.
Morality is legislated
prisons over-populated
religion is incorporated
the profit-motive has permeated all activity
we pay our government to let us park on the street
And war is the biggest money-maker of all
we all know missile envy only comes from being small.
Politicians and prostitutes are comfortable together
I wonder if they talk about the strange change in the weather.
This government was founded by, of, and for the people
but everybody feels it like a giant open sore
they don't represent us anymore
And blaming the President for the country's woes is like yelling at a puppet for the way it sings.
Who's the man behind the curtain pulling the strings?
A billion people sitting watching their TV in the room that they call living
but as for me I see living as loving and since there is no loving room
I sit on the grass under a tree dreaming of the way things used to be
Pre-Industrial Revolution which of course is before the rivers and oceans, and skies were polluted, before Parkinson's, and mad cows
and all the convoluted cacophony of bad ideas
like skyscrapers, and tree paper, and earth rapers
like Monsanto and Dupont had their way
as they continue to today.
This was Pre-us
back when the buffalo roamed
and the Indian's home
was the forest, and God was nature
and heaven was here and now
Can you imagine clean water, food, and air
living in community with animals and people who care?

Do you dare to feel responsible for every dollar you lay down
are you going to make the rich man richer
or are you going to stand your ground
You say you want a revolution
a communal evolution
to be a part of the solution
maybe I'll be seeing you around."
