"What Do We Do Now" lyrics

"What Do We Do Now"

One gigantic beached whale
Desiccates on the neighbor's curb
Guess they threw her away
Could've waited till garbage day

What do we do now?
If only we were Inuit
What do we do now?
You can bet the HOA will hear about this

Inconveniences abound
The world is our oyster and we can shuck off all we want
And oh, how we want to want

An abandoned high-rise
Toppled over in the dead of night
Now it rests horizontal on a low-income neighborhood

What do we do now?
Could it be repurposed?
What do we do now?
Maybe field some offers for a dollar store

If comedy is tragedy
It's funny to think of the billions of people in need
While we put up our feet

What do we do now?
Light a match to this world
What do we do now?
If someone could dismantle this kleptocracy

The checks and balances are off
The checks were elastic, imbalances drafted the map
We see-sawed with fat cats

What do we do now?
Light a match to this world
What do we do now?
Dismantle me, oh God, oh please
