|
The cats are in the flower bed |
|
A red hawk rides the sky |
|
I guess I should be happy |
|
Just to be alive |
|
But we have poisoned everything |
|
And oblivious to it all |
|
The cell phone zombies babble |
|
Through the shopping malls |
|
While condors fall from |
|
Indian skies |
|
Whales beach and die in sand |
|
Bad dreams are good |
|
In the great plan |
|
You cannot be trusted |
|
Do you even know you're lying |
|
It's dangerous to kid yourself |
|
You go deaf and dumb and blind |
|
You take with such entitlement |
|
You give bad attitude |
|
You have no grace |
|
No empathy, no gratitude |
|
You have no sense of consequence |
|
Oh, my head is in my hands |
|
Bad dreams are good |
|
In the great plan |
|
Before that altering apple |
|
We were one with everything |
|
No sense of self and other |
|
No self-consciousness |
|
But now we have to grapple |
|
With our man-made world backfiring |
|
Keeping one eye on our brother's |
|
Deadly selfishness |
|
Everyone's a victim |
|
Nobody's hands are clean |
|
There's so very little left of wild |
|
Eden Earth |
|
So near the jaws of our machines |
|
We live in these electric scabs |
|
These lesions once were lakes |
|
No one knows how to shoulder the blame |
|
Or learn from past mistakes |
|
So who will come to save the day |
|
Mighty Mouse, |
|
Superman?Bad dreams are good |
|
In the great plan |
