I just showed up in Los Angeles
with shirt not on my back
it’s time to fix all the problems with the world
drink beer-drink 30-pack
gridlocked robots sinking in stinking tar pits
extinction in a maze
people fighting for their lives with clock punches
buried under haze
we have the ability to learn and grow
build collective mind
but I think I can make an equal-size impact
if I waste my time
so I’ll head down to the bar and slug a couple booze
it’s the place to die
stumble home later on and notch off another more few
and look up at the sky
when the end begins, it will start right here
they target ones who think
so, once again, my sights are fixed and locked
squarely on my drink
but I need not look up down left or right, right
to know that humans stink
