I Just Don't Get It
I just don't get it.
Do you come to a Park to dump your cigarette
butts, to throw away empty plastic
bottles and cups?
Or do you
just drive by with your nasty habits?
Do you just have to say: *'I've been here*
today in that way?
Do you have to cast your ego around even
if there's no one to see it? Can't you cure
yourself of the garbage in your head?
The world was an Eden before you came.
Do you come to a Park to dump your cigarette
butts, to throw away empty plastic
bottles and cups?
Or do you
just drive by with your nasty habits?
Do you just have to say: *'I've been here*
today in that way?
Do you have to cast your ego around even
if there's no one to see it? Can't you cure
yourself of the garbage in your head?
The world was an Eden before you came.
