Story Behind The Song

Over the past decade I?ve watched with dismay as Pennsylvania farmland has been gobbled up by tasteless developers who leave a clutter of McMansions in their wake. Family owned shops that once anchored viable urban neighborhoods have been driven out of business by big chains. Has our insatiable appetite for natural resources improved the quality of life? Don?t stop to think about it. Life goes on. Avarice wears a happy face.

Song Description

Environmental protest, spoken word, whining vocal and glorious (if clueless) 16 voice choir.

Lyrics

Have ya heard the rumor?
Yeah, I?m a consumer.
I?m into stuff.
Can?t get enough.
I can turn your wilderness to landfill when I?m in the mood.
Blow fossils out my tailpipe, and you know what I do with food.

Chorus
We are saving the day!
We are paving the way
To Global Suburbia.
(Don?t let that disturb ya.)

You?ve heard the rumor.
Yeah, I?m a consumer.
Now don?t get mad.
It ain?t so bad.
Just think hw we can sell all our goods
To all those people running around in the woods.

Chorus
Give us your forests and farms.
We?ll embrace you with nuclear arms.
We will bury you.
(Don?t let it worry you.)

So you found a new habitat?
Let me have a grab at that.
Our cause is noble.
Our aim is global.
If all those species mean so much to you
You can always go and see ?em at the zoo.

Chorus
We are saving the day!
We are paving the way
To Global Suburbia.
(Don?t let it disturb ya.)

Chorus
Give us your forests and farms.
We?ll embrace you with nuclear arms.
We will bury you.
(Don?t let it worry you.)
