It used to be a decent neighborhood. Shhhh!

In between hooting and hollering and shouting obscenities

Of our total lack of interest in everything coming down around us.

Why, I didn't even know there was a medicine circle

In that back lot of our neighborhood!

Did you know what all those rocks were doing there?

Apparently the corporate-congressional bingers did.

Those scally-wags!

Actually it's amazing what they know

Considering that all they really care about is money.

Yes-sir-re it's really amazing what they know!

They're so disgusting. Shall we join them?
