And so while people drive their cars,
And search for ways to inhabit Mars,
While watching TV becomes a career,
I look for what I need right here.
While the Pres makes himself Head Cop of the Earth,
And others strive to find some mirth
In what they say and do each day,
I strive to find a better way,
To make me happy, to make complete
The world within this world of heat,
So that when destiny calls for strength,
She’ll find me ready at any length,
To take this day I truly live in,
And fight and strive to live and win
The tug-of-war of love and hate,
So that I’ll be master of my own fate.
