How much of what we use, is really what we need
and how much do we buy, to feed someone elses greed
We used to open windows and now we buy febreeze
then wonder why the allergies make everybody sneeze
Our homes are airtight boxes, like live-in tupperware
And yet most of us are ignorant to what poisons linger there.
We've been told that if we buy this stuff and do things in this way
Our lives will be much better, than they were just yesterday.
But yesterday the air was clear and you could hear when Robins sang
How did we ever get this far, without ylang ylang?
