On the Occasion of Albatross

a bird with a belly full of plastic;
such a small price to pay
for the refreshing taste of battery acid.
but we do have domain over
lesser life forms, don't we?
and global warming and going green were
made up by the devil.
by the devil.
we must never fall prey to the gospel of green,
though we're perfectly complacent
to follow another gospel of green.
make no mistake,
make no mistake.
there is a price on everything;
economic evolution,
survival of the richest.
yeah, that'll preach.
it's such a shame
that you can't afford
a place to sleep (come all ye weary)
and food to eat (we'll break bread)
or medicine.
...but hey, I don't want to wait in line
so here is a dollar
go buy a bottle,
such a small price to pay
for a bird with a belly full of plastic.
