Center For Disease Control....Please!

Try to build a housing project too close
and watch neighbors go ballistic
but over there in the ghetto
oh baby, build and build
a power plant and while you are at it,
turn the old school in to private prison
keep this domicile pristine
the poisons and the "dregs" of society
send them OVER THERE
Love the parks and the trails
let the doggies roam free
while energy companies knock off tops of mountains
dispose of wastes in streams and rivers next to those "lessers"
with no lawyers or riverkeepers group to intervene
Extract blood diamonds from the African continent
so Oscar award winners can have their bling
but don't tell folk they can only buy ten automatic rifles
or Rupert Murdoch he can only have one station
we all know them who have deserve to have more
Nope you can't expect us to be outraged when children needlessly die
Muslim babies, Jewish children in a war they didn't chose
those Islamic terrorists slaying good Christians
keep the eye on the prize!
Oh heck no don't expect us to help South and Central American countries
create economies that might flourish
that would give us no reason to fund the lovely school of the Americas
and help "freedom fighters" topple democratically elected rulers
shh don't let anyone hear this but we like having cheap laborers around
they labor for less and don't join unions!

The plight of the Americans isn't difficult to see
it is what King feared, "selective indignation disease"
