White Lies - I Don't Want To Go To Mars

 
They made me put all my things in a silver caseTook my blood and my name and asked my ageTold me all my friends were on their wayWhen I'm just late in the game
 
But oh, GodI don't wanna go to MarsWhat kind of brainwashed idiot does?It's all a lab rat life in jarsThey branded the dream of agesI don't wanna go to MarsBe with me here and return to dustWe can borrow your parents' carAnd take it to all our places
 
They made this terrible thing look like a trainThere's something sweet in the air what I can't sayWould I like a drink to calm the brain?Oh, please stay in the chairs
 
But oh, GodI don't wanna go to MarsWhat kind of brainwashed idiot does?It's all a lab rat life in jarsThey branded the dream of agesI don't wanna go to MarsBe with me here and return to dustWe can borrow your parents' carAnd take it to all our places
 
It's been another four years and not one birthday cakeYou sometimes sleep all day and never shakeYou could hide the abyss with a friend you hateOh, I miss the news and change
 
But oh, GodI don't wanna go to MarsWhat kind of brainwashed idiot does?It's all a lab rat life in jarsThey branded the dream of agesI don't wanna go to MarsBe with me here and return to dustWe can borrow your parents' carAnd take it to all our places

Trees by Anonymous

However little I may be
At least I too can plant a tree.

And some day it will grow so high
That it can whisper to the sky

And spread its leafy branches wide
To make a shade on every side.

Then on a sultry summer day,
The people resting there will say—

“Oh, good and wise and great was he
Who thought to plant this blessed tree!”
