HIGHGROUND We’re headed for the highground We’ll leave the poor behind They didn’t see it coming Guess now they’ll have to drown. They pulled their carts like donkies With their blinkers they were blind In the evening, force fed fodder Of the soap celebrity kind. We’re headed for the highground In our gas guzzling trucks We pretty much used up all the oil Yes, every last little drop. Good job we took the highground Down there looks ultra grim Every sunset is a purple apoplexy All the clouds are dayglo green, upside down. We gobbled up the lowlands We really stuffed our cheeks Chopped down all the trees, mined ore Yeah, stripped out every seam. Dammed the streams, gulped agua Till we’d slurped the whole damned lot We tore the crops from the soil Pulled the plug ecological. We’re headed for the highground Where the flood tide cannot reach We’ll teach our children sure enough to be Spiritually rich. Jack Lauren Tom Anuncia Petitia Pronouncia and Earl All now will have to learn the skills to be Fit for the new world. Tie dye, marquetry, poetry and Self agrandisement Karma Sutra positions There’ll be time to practice it. Cos let’s face is it there’ll be naff all else to do Stuck up on this mount. Sweet fanny else to do Stuck up on highground
