Why can't companies use less plastic?
Produce less tragic, wouldn't that be magic?
Who the hell are you do, have you recycled your goddamned cans?
You have to wash them out before you put 'em in the bin
Then the garbage men come in, and they put em in the trash
But don't worry 'bout that, and that's why we have to use plastic

Why does the country have to fight so many wars?
Is it 'cause we're bored? Or just wanna fight more?
Who the hell are you, have you even run for congress?
Hell, maybe if you win, you can do a little spin
High five politicians who payed to get in
Never mind the wars, focus on your re-election

Why can't my friend get healthcare for himself,
Or his wife or his children, or anyone else?
Who the hell are you, are you even a goddamned doctor?
See you gotta to get a job and work real hard
And hope if you're sick that they take your card
And you hope what ya got is a non-deductible condition

Why would God make the goddamned world?
Where suffering abounds for the boys and the girls?
Who the hell are you to question what's going on?
Do you have strange visions, see words in the sky?
Spelling you'll get the pie in the sky when you die
Just trust us on this one, we've only read one book

I don't have questions, don't have answers
There's just one thing that I'd like to mention
Don't let tyranny into your precious mind
Cause people like to talk to attain power
And my people, to me, are like pretty flowers
Best left alone and appreciated with wine
Yeah, best left alone and appreciated with wine
Just wait my friend, we'll all prevail in time
