Golden arches, Some stop to eat. Mouse ears, Some stop to retreat.
All these shops that we see And all the smiling faces Plastered on a mascot Brings the viewer to higher places.
The holidays come, The people gather 'round A flat screen TV And knock each other to the ground.
Here used to lie an orange grove That provided for the land. Now times have changed, values too. In its place a theme park stands.
This generation's happines Can be bought and sold By paper we deem valuable For that is what we're told.
Yet the sight of a valley Brings me more joy Than any handy dandy Service, gadget, toy.
Reading "Fast Food Nation" and just thinking about how to some people seeing the golden arches is an indicator of happiness. As opposed to me, getting excited over the scenery.
