Upwind of me © Copyright George Papavgeris, April 2007 Another Monday morning, and the news is not so grand The world is turning upside down, it's hard to understand In January the daffs are out, in May the corn is ripe And politicians just debate if it is fact or hype. Now polar bears are drowning and lakes are going dry The Yellow river long ago has kissed the fish good bye And as I'm walking to my work, perturbed to some degree You drive by in your monster truck and fart upwind of me. Upwind of me, Upwind of me, You drive by in your monster truck and fart upwind of me. I do not doubt your right to own a car and drive about I'll demonstrate next to you and shout the slogans out, for Despite what they say about the ozone and the soot, The thing about pollution is, the sunsets are a beaut. But you'll have your petrol guzzler, and wash it twice a day Your strawberries are fresh from Spain, picked only yesterday You moan about the lack of slopes with snow that's fit to ski Block out the news, and drink champaign and fart upwind of me Upwind of me, Upwind of me, Block out the news, and drink champaign and fart upwind of me Yet somewhere now there is kid, just playing in the yard She wants a better future and she 'll study very hard Her name is not important for we know that very soon She'll be one more statistic in the worsening monsoon And all you politicians, it took you time to note The world around is changing fast and could affect your vote I send you to a conference new measures to agree You wine and dine and talk a lot, and fart upwind of me. Upwind of me, Upwind of me, You wine and dine and talk a lot, and fart upwind of me. |
