Another Way

  • tune: Accentuate the Positive

We gotta make more stuff—
Fuel the economy
Buy more stuff—
Guarantee prosperity!
Go for greed—
While others live in poverty!
We never learned another way.

We gotta eat more meat—
Nuke the food from agrifarms!
Kill more fish—
Steroids in the salmon farms!
Cut more trees—
Turn the land to fiber farms!
We never learned another way.

We gotta build more dams—
Turn more power on!
Make more cars—
Roads for them to travel on!
Pump more gas—
Keep the pressure on!
We’ll never learn another way.

We’re fat and happy!

(Speak) We’ve got to learn another way!
