Why are we seeking simple happiness
In a world that survives on deep stress
Where many people experience distress
While only a few elites get success
By other countries’ race they aggress
We are promised a path to heaven
Though we bake in a climate oven
Or shot dead by raving mad men
Bleeding red all of the sudden
For the benefit of loons who govern
With ideas nothing worth a dozen
To make us morose and so sullen
While fighting the antichrist in vain
We are told to embrace the future
With empty pockets to endure
Pressed to be poor to stay pure
By priests and preachers with a lure
As governments indulge in torture
And the rats ransack our ordure
Our beliefs we firmly invent
From silly idiotic ignorant intent
