Like the solid state gramophone,
Like the rotary dial telephone,
and the 1932 Ford V8 Flathead chrome
this was when we built it true "to the bone"
Unlike the "made in China" stuff, we fuss over today,
dumped into landfills where it won't decay.
A little birdie said, corporations like it this way -
you get your brand new toy, while they get substantial pay.
It's "reduce, re-use, recycle" exactly for this reason,
in that exact order, so stop the environmental trees-in
the clear cut deforestation,
aiding and abetting our global castration.
Cheap corn and soy derivatives, along with petrochemicals in our food,
Health Canada or the FDA never asked whether you approved.
It might send the wrong message and that's just plain rude,
and so is their use of industry funded research dude.
Food isn't really intended for eating anymore,
it's manufactured to appear abundant, when shipped from port to store.
Assess your local supermarket but not the aisles at its core,
the real food is kept on the perimeter and is considerably less than before.
A little birdie said there's not as much food as you think,
water's a finite resource, here quick, take a drink!
because the glaciers are disappearing, the Great Lakes' tributary link.
Don't delude yourself, drought and famine are always on the brink.
The little birdie goes cheap, cheap
Like the trinkets we work so hard to keep, keep
that create the huge profits they reap, reap.
Like little Bo Peep,
our leaders fell fast asleep,
and we the people are the lost sheep.
