Mother Earth never got her maternity leave Got Big Banged up by a gang of thieves Bang, bang Bang, bang Bang, bang Bang, bang Might go insane watching the world go up in flames The righteous on they knees Praying as the world burns and caves If it be in your plans Jesus please return and save us from this Waste Land Have you heard the truth About the old woman that lived in a shoe She got knocked up and left for dead Beat the shit out of her kids and sent them to bed unfed Take y'all ass to sleep Bye Baa black sheep The neighbors say her house is a zoo A cycle of trauma uncouth Nursery rhymes designed to prime unsuspecting youth For population control One child per household and Great Depression queues Where the government rations your food One can of corn One can of generic soup And one loaf of stale bread for you While you're waiting Get the latest vaccination A pharmaceutical boost that only weakens your immune Provided by Johnson and Johnson or Pfizer Nightly sponsors on the tube System on the fritz from malnutrition Crooks run off with the riches While dissidents get pushed to the fringes for listing What's known and unknown If all the fruit is seedless then can't nothing be homegrown Unwanted visits at Thanksgiving The crock pot the only one to piss in The have nots drawing straws volunteering as tribute ET still trying to phone home Looking for those that vanished Who you gone call Ghostbusters in Area 51 refurbishing UFOs and salvaging the clunkers To study weird science and technology Billionaire alliances got a monopoly on strange biology A vested interest in building more fences to quarantine the lottery When London bridges falling down The city centers got a wall around fresh pottery and zero trash On the outskirts the wasteland vast A barren desert if not for the artificial grass This wasteland only attractive to rats
