WE GOT

We got filthy air and air is all.
We got rotten rivers and water is air.
We got strangled streets and beer can highways,
crowded rooms and fume filled flyways.
We got crap on our minds.

We got commercial this and billboard that,
neon thin and neon fat.
Yeah, we got beauty but it's all in books,
or on some screen or where no-one looks,
because it's too far out of town.

Now, what are we gonna' do?
The sky is blue but you have to look
straight up to see it.
And air is all,
all we got.

Peter Deuel, August 1969
