a far away land

where? in a land far, far away suburbia about to crack every Jim, Joe and Jack solicits money for dope with no hope for a future for his kids cause he’s broke                 he hasn’t seen them in a couple of years                 there are all these mannequins they walk around like they’re people they got the houses like us they got their malls and their steeples imagine the hand that feeds them buys ammonia and they give it to the kids yeah, they put it in the pigs   before they’re porkchops and ribs they take a little arsenic and sprinkle it on carrots because they heard the brand has merit it's like a different planet once they had orange men and pink and they didn’t get along they said the colours were wrong and they fought, of course they fought because that’s in all of nature but they were given a few thousand years they never quite figured it out it was a failure and they never found a cure and they never did mature til the sky came falling down and it’s a different time a different place it’s not even the human race but citizens get robbed by banks held hostage with a gun in face so I hope that though the words I speak are really just absurd they’ll send a message that is heard                                      almost there                                                 be the change                                                               with your                                                                            words.
