nursery rhyme


this world sucks.
so let's make a new one.
you & me both baby
(you can come too, son)
we could be new, love
we could be
princes or princesses poets
(we already prophets) you know it /
we got this / it's obvious /
kinda like seeing stars or knowing what God is / yo...
aint it all this? cosmic as honesty
(but that's just theology / i'm off topic)
we should all share,
like we used to in preschool
it just seemed fair - i help you, you help me. cool.
isn't it simple? isn't it just like – duh –
like oh yea, that's right / that makes sense / word uh huh
we can figure it out / fly planes without pollution /
put the robots to work / that's the damn revolution!
it ain't really that scary - change the game / then we're done
all that stands in our way: is these mofos with guns
but we know they're just pawns of the mofos with dough
the bankers / big oil / & big CEOs
& there's only so long they can fool the masses
into settling for crumbs while still kissing their asses
so... we gotta get out there
& spread the good news
it's humanity's birthday / our cake, planet earth
let's choose to share it this time & take care of it better
learn the lesson / remember /
wisdom of the ancestors
& we'll drink lemonade & dance on the roof
(& you can write poetry & i'll cook some food)
& we'll play all day long & sleep all through the night
or do whatever we want to do
(that's the point right?)
