The elephants can't stand anymore Their feeble legs Can't afford the weight of their profligacy While the ground cracks beneath them The whistling of the earth In the center There's a coal burning It sends its energy To each of its residents A woman scraping her eyelids on the street A decrepit cactus plant The drunk father next door Who beats his wife, spares his children and loves his dog But the elephants are happy If world is for our enjoyment Why does it **** us over?
