lyrics

Unpopular Ideas

I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas
Our health is derived by letting go of fear
And eating clean food and breathing clean air
I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas to share

I’m afraid I have some unpopular thoughts
Your government officials are mostly just bought
By oligarchic money bags grinning ear to ear 

I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas right here

I’m afraid I have just a few thoughts more
Most of your tax dollars get spent on endless war
And subsidized oil, subsidized GMO
I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas, I know

I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas to sing
Big Pharma runs the whole thing
And a for profit industry don’t want you to be well
I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas to tell

I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas
Let’s throw out the screens all peddling fear
And go and meet your neighbor, maybe share some food
Finally start that garden, it don’t matter if it’s good
And go support yr farmer on regenerative land
I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas, my friend

I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas
Your health is derived by letting go of fear
And eating clean food and breathing clean air
I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas to share
