Equal and Opposite Reaction

Dinosaurs came and they said bye bye
Everybody’s still kinda wonderin’ why
If the answer was left up to me
I’d say dinosaurs just chose celibacy-
For every action there’s an equal & opposite reaction

I could solve the world’s problems before it’s too late
Let 10,000 people procreate
Everybody else in every nation
Would just stop fuckinf for one generation
For every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction

They say injustice walks down every hall
I don’t think that’s true at all
Justice stands up proud and tall
Sometimes it takes its time, that’s all
For every action….

They say we gotta save the earth and the ocean blue
But the earth don’t give a shit what we do
They could blast the sonofabitch in two
The earth’d be fine-how about you?
For every action…

. I love you baby, can’t you see
I want you to come live with me
I got some dough, I’m a wealthy man
I’ll hire you a Mexican
For every action….

Mirror, mirror, roll the dice
You be Hitler, I’ll be Christ
I’ll pray for condoms, let me live
And remain HIV negative
For every action….

They say machines don’t work well in the sand
Sand breaks everything down, you understand
Tanks and weapons to wage a war
Sand’s a great big leveler…
For every action there’s an equal & opposite reaction
