ENDANGERED SPECIES
By Mychael John Thomas

I am just a poet of musical impressionism
The most endangered species is the human organism
As a boy in school they made us study communism
Told us it was evil we should practice capitalism
Then somewhere along the way
we went to war with Islam
Kinda like we came and drove our bothers
from their wigwams
I am just a poet of musical impressionism
The most endangered species is the human organism

CHORUS
The whole world teeters on the brink of insanity
Send up a prayer…is there hope for humanity?
The whole world teeters on the brink of insanity
Send up a prayer…is there hope for humanity?

It’s the day of the entrepreneur got moguls in garages
With the right accountant
corporate taxes you’ll be dodging
Work the internet and soon the buyers start responding
Make ‘em feel the need so you get psychological bonding
Pay the politicians get a break when they’re campaigning
When they get in office then
you start with your complaining
No one got the answer but the God who lives in Heaven
The most endangered species is the Human organism

CHORUS
The whole world teeters on the brink of insanity
Send up a prayer…is there hope for humanity?
The whole world teeters on the brink of insanity
Send up a prayer…is there hope for humanity?

BREAK DOWN/SOLO

Everybody say “Gimme some!” Greed becomes the master
And the more we beat that drum we’re headed for disaster
Every time a kid go to school with a gun
he thinks he’s got the answer
Just until he shoots someone and meets his ever after
It ain’t happily…just the price you pay to be the dancer
To the Devil’s tune he plays for one more take a chancer
I am just a poet of musical impressionism
The most endangered species is the human organism

CHORUS
The whole world teeters on the brink of insanity
Send up a prayer…is there hope for humanity?
The whole world teeters on the brink of insanity
Send up a prayer…is there hope for humanity? (repeat)
