Little kids, you’ve gone years without a family photo
You yell into the microphone “Flaunt us like a showboat!”
Dreamy DNA, all of you, but please listen
Take down the streamers after midnight, be sure to grow up to be driven!

Don’t ask why in Russian roulette some play with a loaded clip
It’s because of weight on their shoulders, not because of a chip
The economy is relentless in hoarding it’s detainees
And the bounty The Earth provides has been taken away by the Kings

Yes, the mice wish the cats were all dead (same for the loggers and trees)
And maybe those cats have fleas, of that there’s a guarantee
For there may not be a reason or rhyme, though there’s a reason to rhyme for me
Just imagine a meadow..  without the flowers or bees

So if you ask why in Russian roulette, some play with a full revolver
I’d have to tell you things gets complicated when you tangle the brain and the dollar
