I Want Off Of This Ride!

Some would have you believe
we are on a course with progress
well if this is the definition of progress
like Lennon, "don't you know that you can count me out".

Now lets lets talk about the environment
Superfund uses taxes, is charged with cleaning up
and yet Tyson Foods can still pollute rivers
Obama and Clinton sing their praises

Let's look at the current president
originally for oil platforms everywhere
took a disaster to change his mind
still touting nuclear power for the arsenal

Once in we know what happens
the next president does away with regulations
so if an accident does come
business says "not our fault" and then runs

As for nuclear well they tried to push
a site in Nevada for a dump
bring it in via rail
who cares if the Vegas population gets sick

The advertisers lie
parents bare it and sigh
polluted humans continue to die
Mother Nature hangs her head and cries...

"and the wheels on the bus go round and round"
