Private Jets

Private jets
And chemtrails

Flying first class
45 minutes to my house

1 percent carbon footprint
132 times more than you

Caviar and silk robes
Paid for by your local mailman

Billions and billions
Can’t wrap my mind around

But they leave the check for the rest of us
And tweet about bullshit
They think is important
But not in my world

Have a birthday of decadence
Jet set to opulence

Must be nice for a peasant
Close as you get
Be their servant
Pick up their crumbs

They will live this way
Till the earth catches fire

Mission to Mars
They’ll leave us behind
On A Space X rocket
That explodes into red white and blue
