How to attack something without being too preachy...become the thing you hate, describe why you're now crappy, hope that transformation is possible...
lyrics
"Toad"
Don't wanna make a difference
just want to make a dollar
Don't wanna help my neighbour
just want my fences taller
Don't wanna save the planet,
just wanna save some dough
Don't wanna do with less,
in fact I'd like some more
Chorus:
Why should it be there are so many toads like me
(Like me, like me)
Why should it be there are so many toads
Don't wanna make a stand,
in fact I think I'll sit this out
Don't wanna understand,
just overthink and doubt
Don't wanna see the truth,
I'll just close my eyes and heart
Eye for Eye and Tooth for Tooth,
but just don't ask me to do my part
<Chorus>
Hey what's this zipper here on me
I remember putting this on when I was just three
It hurts like hell but man this comes off of me
I'm scared and naked, but man, man I'm free
I'm free yeah
I'm free yeah
oh, oh, oh
To think,
I Didn't want to make a difference,
I only wanted to make a dollar
Didn't wanna make a difference,
just only wanted to make a dollar
Man, that's more shame than any fella
should be expected to swollar'
Hey
