It’s A Slippery Slap
It’s a slippery slope and a slippery slap. Don’t wake up, just take a nap.
From being in the pink onesie to being in the blues band
It’s a slippery slope
You “know thyself,” and understand
You’re not just another dumb dope
Of course, you cuss, you curse, you swear.
Normal. It’s common now, everywhere
You detest plastic death, but come on, DUDE, don’t live in a yurt!
|You buy bottled drinks, maybe just one — surely one can’t hurt
You buy that gadget, toss that can
You know just one won’t kill the plan
Divestment will come, you can join woke masses
You then can live without greenhouse gasses
You must get to work, no time to see trees
A team player. You’re not Socrates
It would corrupt the youth to digress, rebel
Just one more car doesn’t make Earth hell
So put your two cents into digital
One hour won’t make you criminal
You are with the righteous crew
Any slap at the world offends you too
