What is the Price ?(Neil Cotton)

https://www.soundclick.com/html5/v4/player.cfm?songID=13813426

Christmas and birthdays celebrate the same.
Giving gifts you bought to play the game.
Are they as tradition decrees?
Or presents folks really need

Yes it drives the economy
But honestly

There’s so much waste.
A disassembly line
Wrappings, and boxes
Toys break in no time
Let’s face the truth what’s it worth
What is the price we’ve put on Earth

Bake him a cake, write her a poem
Give them a kiss, don’t tell show them
For kids sake be well aware
Gift the future show we care.

One footprint over the ecoline
Will it happen on our dime?

There’s so much waste.
A disassembly line
Wrappings, and boxes
Toys break in no time
Let’s face the truth what’s it worth
What is the price we’ve put on Earth

What is the price we’ve put on Earth

Right on all points Neil.
Good one.

Vic


It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.

Amen, Neil!

For the rhyme, would it maybe be better to change...

Bake him a cake, write her a poem
Give them a kiss, don’t tell show them

to...

Bake him a cake, write her a poem
Give them a kiss, don’t tell show 'em
