Don't Ask Me

What you gonna do-when the river runs dry
Put your drills in the mud-and death up in the sky
You should have saved  those bottles
You should have saved those cans
You shouldn't ought'a listen to the plastic man
And there's no more toilet paper-it's gone just like the trees
Do you like the taste of honey-isn't it best without the bees
Be careful what you're dong-you're messing up my life
And if all the world's a cake-then you cut too big a slice

CHORUS
What's it all about-they scream and then they shout
Don't ask me-cause I don't know
What's it all about-they scream and then they shout
Don't blame me-I told you so

You read it in the papers-you hear it on the news
Very few listen-a spew without a view
And is it really worth it-choking on remote
I can see the red tide coming-but I don't even vote
Infection in the greenhouse-dizzy in the clouds
Oily as an ocean-heaven disemboweled
Still planning on a future-well lucky for some
You can develop your body-but your mind is still a slum

CHORUS

The product in the packaging-of multi-layered glam
150 layers of materials-to cover up a  sham
Protecting my planet-wrap it in plastic
The package is product-perfected eternal
A crap in a cling wrap
I  never met yet a prime minister or president
Who told the truth yet

Swimming in the surry-burning in the heat
Wind blown is the weather-I eat what you secrete
Climb the highest derrick-the circus has no prayer
No UFO to save us-and do we really care

CHORUS

KIss goodbye to  the earth, the sun, the moon
It's easy to deceive a child
