Been through mass destruction once,
but once was not enough.
Said we want a second chance,
and all they say is tough.
A world where science went too far
thereÕs no way to survive.
Why canÕt we get this thing straightened out,
I want to stay alive.
They burned and bombed the East and North,
and thereÕs no place left to go.
The sun beltÕs overcrowded
so letÕs annex Mexico.
The PesoÕs only worth a dime,
but theyÕve got all that land.
No need for a civil war
we know theyÕll understand, right?
Ñ Is that how you like it? Ñ
Factories left unattended,
crumbling to the ground.
We tried to keep them running,
but thereÕs no more oil around.
We used it all to fight a war
that neither side could win.
Vietnam was little league
compared to where weÕve been.
Now we live in caves and huts,
and we donÕt have pay TV,
and everyone is signing up
for the newest industry.
Standard Oil goes solar power,
all try to make a buck.
So IÕll sit around and smoke cigarettes,
and IÕll babble Òwhat the fuck
