ME AND YOU by Tom Jensen
Corporatists hire hypnotists
To collect all the liars
Who come up with new lyrics
That the public just can’t resist
This runaway rhetoric
Which greases the pliers
That acts as the wrench
To turn the screw
That becomes part of the wall
They keep trying to build
To separate me and you
Once upon a time
Time it was still
And right before that
Life was beautiful
Long before machines
Could kill at will
Soon you and I
Were awakened from our slumber
We became mechanized
And then given a number
I found a cat
Living in a boat
The boat was in a yard
Where it sat all summer
Covered up by a tarp
There’s a skunk
Sleeping beneath the plow
When the cat goes to bed
Then the skunk comes out
That’s what this world is coming to
My back yard’s become a zoo
Imagine the farms are worse than this
When the people don’t even fit
There’s surely no place left for the animals to live…
Sh*t!
