I was sitting by a waterfall
with Perry today
Here amongst the Slow Divers
We smoked the usual obligotary marley
Then we pondered upon what had happened
Someone stole Perrys soul you see
His child of hope and recognition
for the unrecognized
was now gone
A few flowers
were aloud to bloom
but they too
were eventualy
plucked and stolen
by the corporate monster
We must make everything shiny so it can be sold
This pioneer
A shadow of his former
glowing brilliance
also was weeded by the dollar
He onced wished he was ocean size
But sharks now swim in those waters
So we "smoke the roach"
and we go on down that slide man
We go on down
into the ocean
Of shiny lollapolooza
