Dr. Seuss’s Endless Balls
Progress, consumerism, credit and greed
The pleasure and pain, the want and the need
Liposuction and botox injection
The need to watch porn to get an erection
Alcohol, cigarettes, opium and meth
Hiring a speedboat down the river of death
Waiting in an embassy, break out in a sweat
Suffer a panic attack and oxygen debt
Fast food, French fries, burgers, Big Mac
Type 2 diabetes and a heart attack
Children so fat they can’t walk to school
Run in the playground or kick a football
Desktops, laptops and cellular phones
Murdering Muslims with remote control drones
Using public money to bail out banks
When did we join the socialist’s ranks?
Stem cells, genome and genes mutating
A Repetitive Strain Injury, from masturbating
In willful ignorance we choose to sit and watch porn
While all the time virgin consumers are born
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors
Makes it possible for me to see visitors
And a head full of Tri Cyclic Anti depressant
Look, I am smiling and acting more pleasant
Genocide, suicide, corruption and coups,
I’m a good citizen because I watch the news
The world is suffering and I know it’s a shame
But I’m going to help out right after the game
The Examined Life
