In my dear old-world,
We made love to widespread-war,
And sold our souls to beggars in the street
In my dear old-world,
We danced in wretched tombs,
And cast aside ourselves for the good of man
In my dear old-world,
We baked with flour as fine as jewels,
And dined to the prospect of a greater appreciation
In my dear old-world,
We wrapped in shrouds of leather,
And buried in tombs of sand and dust
In my dear old-world,
We spoke and sang with class,
And cast aside the bible to curse with bitter sass
In this dead new-world,
We void of any conflict,
And bottle our spirits in plastic jars
In this dead new-world,
We dine on forgotten tombs,
And cast aside our neighbor for the good of self
In this dead new-world,
We bake with preserve and chemicals,
And dine to the evening news
In this dead new-world,
We burn to smoldering ash,
And bury in tins the size of cigar boxes
In this dead new-world,
We used to speak with class and dignity,
And everything is before thee certain lack of decency
