Eve of Destruction/1965-- Fitting for 2011

Path to Destruction/2011
By Jamie Walker:

My apologies to;
P.F. Sloan and Berry McGuire: Eve of destruction/1965

The middle Eastern world, it is exploding
While we're over there
America's imploding
You're old enough to know better
but you're not voting
You wont enlist in war
what's that video game you're totin'?
as the political parties
keep the deficit growin'

and you still waaaatch American Idol and two and a half men, my friend
Cause you refuse to see
We're on the path to destruction.

You don't understand the game they're
going to play
You'd better start hoping there's a
next payday
When the market goes bust
the rich will get their way
There'll be nothing in your savings
the economy looks grave
Open your eyes up boy
it better scare ya boy

and you still waaaatch American Idol and two and a half men, my friend
Cause you refuse to see
We're on the path to destruction.

The guy you voted for
is in the backroom tradin'
or sittin in the men's room
tappin' the next patron
They like to twist the truth
they have no hesitation
Handful of new Senators
Don't intend to save this Nation
And mass marches alone
will show them we're frustrated
Don't let human respect
go disintegrating
This whole entire country
is gettin' crazy

and you still waaaatch American Idol and two and a half men, my friend
Cause you refuse to see
We're on the path to destruction.

Think of all the hatred
we have for the "other"
while our little children
can't get healthcare for their mother

Well you may ignore all this
while stuffing your face
To have all your luxuries
spits on half the human race
the clearing of the forests
and the mountains of waste
claims that horizontal drilling
doesn't leave a trace
go ahead and fight your neighbor
while the elites take the place

and you still waaaatch American Idol and two and a half men, my friend
Cause you refuse to see,
We're on the path to destruction.

What's an idoit?
By the way...use 'an' before vowels and don't forget to capitalize the first word in a sentence. Lastly, you forgot the period at the end of the sentence.

Well I do not watch American Idol or Two and a half men, but, I do think that it is rather rude to correct someone's grammar.

Lynne Weaver said...

...and calling someone an 'idoit' isn't rude?

Anonymous, what part of what I wrote doth you protest?
I'm curious as to what would cause such a strong reaction from you.
