Extra, Extra

This world is just the way it seems to be,
And we’re just a way it goes about it.
It birthed us and will kill us, you and me,
And there’s nothing to be done about it.

But go ahead and flail emphatically.
Gather all your megaphones and shout it—
You want to change the world dramatically
To the world you mean, and I don’t doubt it.

The way the world is, I’m sure you’ll succeed.
You’re the world I mean. You’re all about it.
