Based on Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio
As I walk down the hallways of the family court
I look at liberty and realize that there's none left
Because they've been lying and blasting so long
That even judges think that women's minds are gone

You go to McDonalds looking slender
You're not not gonna stay that way forever

In America and Australia there's a growing hysteria
Comparing those who see global warming threat

A day in the life of Lilian
Is by most standards good:
She stands in her cot quite meekly
Until it is time for food -
With finger in side of her mouth
She yodels, "wa wa wa wa wa"
And then banging on her playpen,
"Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma"

The umbilical cord is blue,
The placenta is black and red,

And now, I'm a dad.

And then - an announcement

What thunder told me is that I must hurry

Truth will for sure
Be nothing like stark -

The golden tree, The Tree of Life -
Into its shadow I will dive
And feast upon the blessed fruit
Then dig until the very root.
Inside the root I'll find the seed
And share it with the ones in need:

Speak to me, Shenandoah!
You're old, and I am young.
In valley down below
And all your hills among,
Dinosaurs have once roamed,
With open, hungry eyes;
Mammoths made you their home

And landscape was just like Atlantis.

With forearms tucked below its android head
It lands, then jumps, then softly walks, then startles.
