Ever since I was a tadpole, had a home, lazin’ on a lily pad
Suckin smoke that’s comin’ from the secondhand
Watchin’ as the seconds drag, time well spent
Bench press the weight of the world usin’ my brittle limbs
Not concerned with image, I just do it for the fitness
Flies provide protein and their delicious
A silver tongued amphibious vehicle paddlin’ back where the grass is greener
And the alga never clears up
Society’s mirror has never had a cleaner conscience
Secluded in the wilderness, intrusive thoughts are no longer responsive
The sponsors want to stomp the swamp lands and plant their logo
But I respond with smiles and a laugh as the contract’s trashed
The industry’s a tourist, the industry’s a tourist snatchin’ land
Until I get the gall to come and snatch it back
Peace upon the flowers and the forest, alert is now red orange
Accordin’ to choppin’ causin’ the shortage, hold your horses
