Well, I woke up hung today
Cause I could not hold my demons at bay
So, I drunk up my joe and lit up smoke
Cause the world is not goin' away
Then I proceeded to watch my TV
Yes, the whole world on my movie screen
And I know in the end, I'll reach more 'round that bend
Cause at least then I'm able to scream

Well you may call me a prodigal son
But know this, I'm not the only one
That sees through your lies, those one-liner cries
To enslave your daughters and son
Well, you call this the land of the free
Maybe free to cut down every tree
But, hey, we got Mars and we'll reach for the stars
To kill everything that doesn't agree

Yeah, we're cuttin' down forrests for malls
For track homes and more city halls
Yeah, we're cuttin' down trees for mere papers of green
But this greed has got us by the balls
So, go and say that I'm Satan's spawn
I am right but say I'm doin' wrong
And I'll be vilified but you'll be left unsatisfied
Cause someone else will pick up and go on

Hope we'll learn from this recession
But we all know its called depression
And as history shows, we'll keep loopin' to sow
The seeds of mindless oppression
So, go and say that I'm antichrist
So the people will forget your lies
Trade forests for malls and let earth take the fall
After all what gives you the right?
