No Silver Lining

 
There would be no rich folk and nobody to call poor  
And no food to buy without a grocery store  
There'd be no wars if no one could afford to manufacture guns  
And no oil in the furnace to warm your freezing buns  
There would be no landlords to become greedy assholes  
And perhaps there'd be no countries to construct proud flagpoles  
No churches would rise up to collect "donations" for the lord
From common peasants who have none they can afford
There might not be a warming trend to make the oceans rise  
Then we wouldn't have to listen as the deniers tell their lies  
And if there was no currency anywhere of any kind  
Nobody would own a thing, you could just have whatever you may find  
I'd even be willing to bet there'd be no more divorce  
But then there'd be nothing to bet, 'cept for your word, or course  
And without pay no lawyer is gonna plead your adultery case  
So I guess I'd have to learn to be happy just to see your smiling face
