THE RUINATION OF MR. SAM
	Words by Jason Lustig
	Music by ...Or Something

(verse 1)
My children spoke unto me
"Why can't we be like that tree?
So leafy and so very green
it's way happier than it seems"

(verse 2)
My children spoke unto me
"Why can't we be blue like the sea?
And swim in the water with the bright fishies
They're way more fun than they seem"

(chorus)
We're living in a world of gray symphonies
They're telling us we're free, but I don't (quite) believe
We should be running with the birds and bees
Instead we're all walking on our knees

(verse 3)
My children spoke unto me
"Why can't we fly like yellow canaries?
Spend all day hopping from tree to tree
and looking from high, to really see"

(verse 4)
My children spoke unto me
They said to "pick a flower, a red rosie
For each petal that falls, think of me
Make that something, that you believe"

(chorus)

(accapella verses)
(end)
