Tony Hightower Dead Awhile
The good guys won the last world war No one eats meat anymore The TV shows are all in good taste They figured out where to put nuclear waste They put the Berlin Wall back up And put the lawyers all behind it Everyone was convinced they'd crack But it turns out none of them really minded And of course by this point, people do nothing but smile And of course by this point, style was going out of style And of course by this point, I had been dead awhile They put a guy on Mars They found a cure for cancer They solved all the urban problems They solved all the rural problems too They put good food in all the stores And everybody now is so happy They put an end to all the world wars And everybody now is so god damned happy And of course by this point, people do nothing but smile And of course by this point, Africa drank up the Nile And of course by this point, I had been dead awhile Only God was left, unless it was the Devil Either way, the playing field was now level And the bars all still closed at one But no one gave a damn cos life was so fun Biker chicks and surfer dudes Were everybody's favorite foods And world peace was finally achieved By making all the losers leave And of course by this point, people do nothing but smile And of course by this point, style was going out of style And of course by this point, I had been dead awhile.
