Respect Yo Mutha

Woke up today , I was feeling too down,To stick around here in Philly Town

Where the only wild life is some mangy pigeon
I made my way to the Ben Franklin Bridge
And headed East, to the Beach to forget my cares
But there were hypodermic needles lying everywhere...
I never did make it to the water today
There were these dead dolphins lying in the way,

cho.  We're all riding in one big hearst, We've got to get out and put Earth first
        We've got to heal her cause there ain't no other
        Come on Dude, RESPECT YO MUTHA!

I got desperate to soothe my soul, I headed down to the South Pole,
But what a surprise was there for me... A great big hole where the ozone used to be...
I thought of heading West to some desert sands
But there we're strip-minimg Navajo Sacred Lands
And all our rain forests are being cut back
To manufacture  meet for a Big Mac Attack, and...

Doom & Gloom, it's a sorry state, It don't look good when I ponder my fate...
Concrete covers what was once green lands, and I'm ass-deap in Budwiser cans!
We won't have to wonder what it was we did
When we give birth to some mutant kid,
Who says to us, "Daddy, hand your head in shame...
Koyanaskatsi(*) is the name of this game!" and we're...

* Koyanaskatsi is  Hopi  word which means "life out of balance"; it is also the name of a movie featuring the music of Philip Glass.
