At Least The Fish Are Happy.


You complain about kids and a stunted life,
Or being worked to the bone
Underpaid for your strife,
The horror of being a teenager
Or being a trophy wife
A footy player who's past his prime,
An actor who can't turn on a dime.
We are all popping Prozac
Like there is no tomorrow
And it calms you down;
There is no such thing as sorrow.
The prescribed dose per day,
Washed down with water'
Then pissed away
Into sewerage treatment
That doesn't filter down
To microns per million,
Then spewed out into the ocean,
Like a waste managers dream.
When the toxicology reports come back
They say: my bad...
Fish and shrimp are being medicated
For conditions they didn't know they had
