There is a planet
In a galaxy
Called the Milky Way

And the planet
Orbits the sun

An earth year contains
365 days

And ask me
How I'm doing

Ask me
"Are you okay?"

And I'll tell you
Yep I'm lovin'
The absurdity
Of it all

Use to get upset more
Now not so much at all

People pursue
The wrong things
They do it every day

Repeating actions
That increase their misery

But me
I'm A-Okay

And I watch
Documentaries
About young Americans

Getting killed
In foreign wars

Some one tell me
Why were we in
Afghanistan

What was that for?

The men who
Planned the attack
Weren't even from there

And a plane never
Hit the Pentagon

But idiots will
Believe it

They don't seem to care

An expert in army intelligence
Took all the measurements
And things don't add up
At all

And controlled demolition
Of tower 7
That happened too

Wake up people
Your own government
Lies to you

On this Earth
There are people
Some good and bad

And when I think
About my small existence
Sometimes I get sad

Not wealthy
And will not be famous

But who really cares

I got a photo
Of the man of Tao

See him walking there?

I took the photo as he turned
Down my street

Even asked how
The lady in the garden was

Now isn't that neat

I try to love people
Don't expect much
In return

Be kind to others
This you should learn
