SOMETHING ELSE TO DO We can blame mom and dad for all our aches and ills We can blame the men in power for making chills and pills We can blame the church and government until we’ve had our fill We can blame the corporations in voices loud and shrill We can blame each other - for doing what we do Complain about the world and how we’re made the fool Hide behind the social mask when all signs point to you Complaining goes nowhere when there is something else to do Complaining goes nowhere when there is something else to do Hide behind the social mask when all signs point to you Time for nature’s reality - time to ground to earth Time to pay attention to the makings of our birth Time for practicality and the plight of the withered soil Time to compost all our waste - for the seed we must toil Turn machines to the task of closing the sacred hoop What goes out must come in - including the toxic goop Complaining goes nowhere when there is something else to do Hide behind the social mask when all signs point to you Time to wake from madness - choose another course Solar panels on every rooftop - gardens in every court Time to plant tomatoes - in a pot on the porch Time to turn into the green - time to get in touch With the bright and shining future - healing the damage we’ve done To the blue and green planet - third marble from the sun Complaining goes nowhere when there is something else to do Hide behind the social mask when all signs point to you When we’ve finally made it - turned back the tide of fear Freed ourselves of monsters - wiped away the tears World held in common - no nationality No artificial borders - you against me Arms into plowshares - greed put to rest Plant the planet forest - share what is best jadedragon.bandcamp/track/something-else-to-do
