about

Not a real dream. Perhaps a daydream.

lyrics

I had a dream
that Joel Olsteen
was preachin' to the choir
He began to scream
to the hippie scene
that all the little kids were dyin'
and they got bored
since they'd heard it all before
they pulled out their phones and spent seven million dollars texting

Why can't we all be a little more like Mama T?
Givin' up our gross riches
Just to save the lungs of a little 3-year-old girl
She belongs in this world just as much as you and me

He began to shout
that "there's absolutely no doubt that a free man's really free if he's hungry!"
Then the parents stood and left
while the rich through their camels away
and the homeless cried out, "Hey, come check out our needles!"
