I'm not on one side or the other Been walking this highway for miles I'm not pure anymore The fat old rich own all the real estate Some screaming queen from England built a tropical garden in the desert The lady from California likes her new nursing home It's got everything she needs The aging boomers are using up the last of the planet's resources And they all come here to die
The Mexican family down the street prays the food stamps won't run out 14-year-old Carla just had another baby They both made it over the border After a few years of chemical exposure from the mines Half her kids will become retards Working to enhance their image as garbage collectors
Desert sprawl and another mall And I'm looking forward to the bird flu And all these galleries How much art can you do Before you turn ninety-two You know this town really needed a Walmart The retirees are happy now But I'm not sure there will be enough water for all these people
