ME! ME! ME!


Me, Me, Me,

What’s going on with the world today?

What’s going on with man?

Why in the name of all that is right?

Are we heading down into the can?

We’re wiser and stronger and faster for sure

We’ve worked it all out to a T

We need not for any or all to endure

We’ve taken our sweet liberty

*

We’re free to pollute and to waste all the earth 

We’re rich and we’re wanting for nought

We need take no care for the misery found

In the weak, in the poor, or the bought

*

We live in the moment – with caution to wind

And sail on a decadent sea

For this world, and its wealth, and its beautiful things

Was created for, ME! ME! ME!
