simpler to be cynical

i wanted to have ideals,

everyone cries about global warming

but they tore down three hundred acres of forest next door

 and put up a housing development

and the temperature along our street went up five degrees.

so how is my planting one tree gonna help?

i don't actually give a Gore's hairpiece about the environment,

it's gonna do just fine, we may all get wiped out

but the environment will keep on truckin' in one form or another.

i wanted to love people for who they are...

but they're so darn stupid!
