Cast out the amoral animals who for so long have set the
agenda that led us into this mess
Throw out the fools who invented these various greedy,
non-renewable ponzi pyramids
Go back to the best of the past and meld it to the New Green
Kick out those so-called free market, bulldoze-and-run,
copy-and-paste developers
Because now they’ve had their 50 years of gluttonous and
uncurbed, wanton destruction
Bring back respect and love for simply sustaining the earth
and its treasures
Give up the worship of blind greed that has stolen so much
without even paying interest
Root out the lie that it all must come down to the money, every
single goddamn time
Wake up the financial innovators still caught in
their wrung-out, unregulated NeoCon MLM schemes
Finally, even give peace a try, now that they have had their
violent way for far too long
Bring back the dreams they so long have scornfully rejected
without even a fair hearing
Their time is over now, so take a look around and simply
review their accomplishments
Brush aside those who for too many years have labeled you as
simple and foolish idealists
For they’ve starred too long in this show that has resulted
in a dirty and unsustainable mess
Don’t bother to fight them, let’s just everybody move out quietly
and head the other way
Forget their smash and grab, waste for today, foolishly
noisy, selfish rationalizations
Get back in tune with the ancient song of the earth they
still find so goddamn silly
Leave them to their phony memoirs but never forget their
very real and very destructive lessons
Get them out of the way now, but not out of our history
books
Quietly ignore their constant self-abusive hurry, anger,
stress, noise and worry
Even bring back a bit from the sixties and we shall try to
overcome, once again
Don’t struggle against them but don’t bother listening to
them anymore, either
Ease them from power, leave them stewing inside their
expensive locked and gated compounds
Clean up their messes, get on the right path and simply
don’t let them do it again
Turn off their reasonless noisemakers and recycle their
foolish gas-powered toys
Now we’ve seen their results and it’s time to straighten up
and get started on our own
Go about your good business and leave them to strangle alone
in phony suits and ties
Marginalize them with an overwhelming kindness and a
smilingly-smothering concern
Herd them safely together like 1st graders, in
their own simple but noisy confusion
They had their best shot but now have walked away, tasking
us with rescuing the future
Let a billion small voices overcome their scripted and
poisonous corporate sound bites
Allow the sounds of nature to replace their random and
self-centered advert nattering
Save more for those to come instead of stripping and wasting
all we can now for ourselves
Smile politely as you pass by their lawn chairs, moving away
in a different direction
Clean up their glossy spin along with all the careless
litter they left on the ground
Forget their phony free market healthcare, education,
environment and poverty solutions
Turn their toxic legacy into a great lesson that we shall
never forget and never have to repeat
Junk their worn-out fantasy religious rationalizations and
venal social darwinism
Free eroded corpro-conglomerated farm land from pesticides,
fossil water and petro-fertilizers
Release our domestic animals from the ongoing holocaust
their ignoble corporate masters perfected
Re-measure progress by the sustainable wild salmon harvest
not by how many bloated SUVs they sold
Turn away from cynically smirking leaders reading with false
twangs the speeches that others wrote
Suffocate them gently with soft pillows stuffed full of
fluffy peace and love
Demonstrate that you understand them and then force them to
listen to you for a change
Leave them squawking in meaningless, impotent rage - and
then go post the video
Tax the living shit out of them in the name of those they
have outsourced and displaced
Turn quietly aside and relegate them to a small but
shrilly-whining margin
Don’t forget all their lessons and don’t let them back in
power, ever again
Keep them aware of their results 24x7, wherever they choose
to travel
Redistribute their pirated assets for schools, clinics,
infrastructure and reclamation projects
Put them to work on chicken farms, in feedlots and bent
painfully over in the onion fields
Convert some of their crumbling so-called trophy homes into
museums of unvarnished greed
Preserve and combine names, dates and deeds into a twisted
but cohesive history
Answer their last bailout pleas with empathetic offers of
work at cleaning urban ERs
Busy their marketing and advertising geniuses promoting
peaceful cooperation
Thoroughly safety test their adulterated, imported products
on them, their families and their pets
Pester them with swindled widows, forgotten children, the
uninsured and outsourced workers
Study their bios that their likes are prevented from ever
again rising to power
Find ways to treat their greedy, monomaniacal, need to
ignorant power with mercy
Set them savagely against each other in inconsequential and
harmless competitions
Marginalize their greedy squeals for they led us to waste
too much, for far too long
