We seem to be living in a fog
not seeing clearly like we should
Our concepts appear blinded
not as crisp as they could.
Raising lots of hell
bout Janice Jackson's breast
yet ignore more profound things
seem blinded to most of the rest.
Who is complaining bout
drug companies signs
whose advertising stretches
misleading our foggy minds.
Where is the passion to stop
the polution of our water.
As Congress reduces the laws
for industries private quarter.
Who speaks loudly for the children
the many who barely get to eat
and while they langer in need
we wear luxury on our feet.
Too many turn their heads
bout violence in the home
abusive folks spreading fear
and keep it on the roam.
Why don't I hear more rumbling
bout equipment the troops didn't get
driving round with "support the troops" signs
yet more like we did forget.
How can we imagine our government
giving tax breaks to companies like big oil
whose profits are now near obscene
as worker's budgets go to spoil.
We seem to have our priorities
turned round and upside down.
If the rich keep running amuck getting richer
many of us are not going to be around.
