An unused snippet.

I wrote this half of a verse to "Everybody's Lost But Me" the week before W declared war on Iraq:

The war that is impending
Will not have a happy ending
Long as Washington's pretending
It's our freedom their defending


Too bad it's a little dated now.

And then this morning I came up with this verse, but it probably will never see the light of day, since it's too much of a mouthful:

Future civilizations
Will have to use their imagination
To understand why our nation
Turned our fascination
From improving race relations
And space exploration
To weapons, masturbation
And idol adulation
