OUR TIME
Gas goes up!
Tax goes up!
Everything is mixed
with war and flood!
The rosy picture the white men paint
is a new cemetery covered with fresh daisies
tender grass growing out of Mother’s heart.
No one can balance the cost.
No one will tell you why.
Each and every righteous man
is capable of another holocaust.
Our time is the best time!
You can make a lot of money
if you put your heart to it!
You can win a trip to the moon
as long as you keep the ball rolling.
Don’t let the babies’ cry disturb you;
Don’t let the bloody scenes distract your eyes;
Don’t let the protest get on your nerves!
Secure your safe, wife and kids!
Secure a green piece of land for your grave!
The goods will sell out soon!
Stuff your cellar with food and guns.
Shield your soul with heavy steel!
Don’t forget to listen to the weather man
when it gets worse you can always run.
Our time is the best time!
Grab it when you can. Hail Mary!
It won’t last as it burns from both ends.
Remember, there’s nothing better
than being a rich and religious man!!!
