Lyrics
ECO ? TOWN
Pay ? offs abound in this eco-town
Ecology fashion, without the passion
Self-serving people, proverbial
kings of their castles
No commitments, no hassles
CHORUS: Hey! Shouldn?t we oughtta,
Look at the black water (2X)
Egos and lies, but no community ties
Hidden interests, on a bender,
common good in surrender
It?s the commercial folks,
with their movie and show
What about the smell,
and the serious outflow?
CHORUS
So step forward, mister men of vision
Or you?ll soon find yourself
on your way to prison
How can we permit this self-serving stench?
What about the smell? And the serious outflow?
It?s a disease igniter! It must go!
CHORUS
