Elastic Paradise

Boardroom saints in their mirrored shades Drawin' up plans for the next crusade They say "green" but they mean the other kind Stackin’ up trash in a paradise line Radiation rain on a plastic shore They build towers on the ocean floor Every can, every chip bag's gold Got an island they already sold Welcome to elastic paradise Where the water glows and the suits sound nice They say "it's eco!" with a grin too wide While the fish learn how to advertise Billboards bloom where the coral died They pour champagne where the seagulls cried A CEO with a halo drone Talkin' profits in a hologram tone Boats made of bottles, yachts outta waste Future’s tastin’ like synthetic paste But who cares, long as stocks replace Every tear with a smiling face Welcome to elastic paradise Where the sunset burns like a neon sign They say "tomorrow’s gonna smell just fine" On an island built from dollar signs Trash dreams, cash streams, ocean screams Sell it clean, keep the conscience lean Spin that sin in a circular bin Recycle the lie and begin again Welcome to elastic paradise They own the sky, they trademarked life Built from garbage, wrapped in light elastic paradise, sleep tight tonight Yeah, floatin’ on a landfill lullaby Skyscrapers kissin’ a polluted sky They call it progress, don’t ask why
