I'm Gonna Give Up
It may be time to give up
Time to just disconnect
Time to be environmentally incorrect.
If you can’t beat em’, join em’.Oh, I think I’m gonna puke.
I can’t believe I’m saying this. Chain me to a nuke.
I’m gonna give up.
All the anguish and the pain.
What’s the use of trying if we’re goin’ down the drain.
Those evil corporations with pockets full of jack
Have 50 million lawyers who knew that I would crack.
I’m gonna give up.
My claws have been removed.
I swear I will believe the words: “new and improved”.
And I won’t ask The March Of Time to shift into reverse.
You can’t stop progress as it goes from bad to worse.
I’m gonna give up.
By God, this time I will
Even though the Mississippi’s turning into swill
The air I breathe is smelling like your average toxic dump.
After 40 years of fighting this, I’m feelin’ like a chump.
(We’re lookin’ for a savior and we get a guy like Trump)
I’m gonna give up.
Someone else can take my place.
When no one’s looking, I can slip away without a trace.
Things get better naturally when left to happenstance.
Am I gonna give up? … Fat chance!
