Pipe line.
We're gonna build a pipeline.
and although everyone already hates them
this call was made direct from heaven
and if you've had to deal with this machine called Enbridge
you can thank lord Harper for all their leverage
to bleed you dry then drink the beverage
hey hey we're gonna keep it in the family
turn a blind eye to all the SPILLS of the rich
okay you gotta feed your family
but while the rich get richer, you remain their bitch

Primates

It seems kind of dumb
are you opposing your thumb?
No, I don't understand your position
But I've been doing the talking
trading in branches for walking
and now i might be ready to listen
Primates trying:
-to make sense of our lives
-to understand our kind
Jesus and Dian Fossey:
-Both were murdered trying to save their favourite group of primates
-Cut down in their prime
-Primates trying to make sense of their lives
Primates watching primates...
Primates watching primates watching primates...
Primates watching primates…
It could happen to you
on the way to the zoo
It'll happen there too
Are you aware they are aware? You are, they are…
Gandhi and Jane Goodall:
-Selflessly devoted to their favourite group of primates
-so much of their time
Primates trying:
-to makes sense of our lives
-to understand our kind
-to make sense of our lives, to make sense of our lives
-make sense of our lives

The Woods...

The woods… behind… our house… are in trouble
Will you… exacerbate… your place… amidst the rubble?
Will you… disintegrate… inside… your bubble?
Our management makes me scared
For this is a loss we're not prepared for
We're not the kind of thing you'd bet on
'Cause we're not:
Dealing with this head on/ thinking with our heads on
The blood… inside… our arteries… is slowing
All… the countless slugs… of dirty smoke… we are blowing
Proceed… the same way… with no excuse… fully knowing
The woods behind your house are struggling
With all these treatments you are juggling
We'll survive and maybe go on smugly
We'll leave a world behind that's grim and ugly
So gather up your precious things
Stand up with your hand over your heart while everybody sings
The anthem of their time run dry
Then say your tiny prayer and kiss it all goodbye
Goodbye

76 is the New 40

She's seventy six in purple leather pants
her hip hurts too much for her to dance
she wasn't hip back in '62
well it's ironic enough cause in this new
millennium
76 is the new 40
He's cruising real slow down Main St. West,
with his windows rolled down, in his grey wool vest
white curly hair poking out of his chest
and when he dies he can get some rest
crematorium
spread those ashes on a soccer field
cause 76 is the new 40
76 lawn flamingos, lordy!
76 is the new 40
He's been with Hazel for a week and it's been going alright
but he hooked up with Helen just the other night
The home's a terrarium
Hazel and Myrtle were with Harry the night before
them and their friends are just looking to score
she doesn't plan to marry 'em
cause 76 is the new 40
and 13 is the new 19
and 45 is the new 20
and 120 is the new 90
76 is the new 40
