O Look Out Ma I Think




O we've got billions of pilots here steerin' this ship all crazy ways
Polluting up the atmosphere — the Rain Forest has been set ablaze
Sure am glad I brought along my Golden Parachute today
Standing at an open hatch the label reads "No strings attached"
Headlines bound to wrinkle your brow this plummet's sure to make a splash
O look out ma I think this Spaceship Earth is gonna crash

O what can we do to save the day sweep that high tech stuff away
Ya sweep it all beneath the rug and give a whale a hug
Fill those satellite dishes up with gobs and gobs of vegetable soup
We can feed this whole wide world at one fell swoop

O let's deploy the Auto Pilot — We're headed down in a nasty spin
I'd call upon my own spin Doc who knows the kind of shape I'm in
O I can see my past spin by did mother earth stop in her tracks
And did the Locomotive fly —— the sky rains with computer hacks
Little brother's been watching us with ID's pilfered in the trash
O look out ma I think this Spaceship Earth is gonna crash

O what can we do to save the day sweep that high tech stuff away
Ya sweep it all beneath the rug and give a whale a hug
Fill those satellite dishes up with gobs and gobs of vegetable soup
We can feed this whole wide world at one fell swoop

Let's stop on our way down at an ATM for cash
We'll put on our party hats and have the biggest bash
