The Alphabet Of My Phobias

I want to write a song about
The words I live without
The words I cannot say
In hopes they go away

I want to write a song about
The words that I cut out
My verbal repertoire
Voided now here they are

A as in abortion
Animal cruelty
And b is for the bees
C is climate change
D is doomsday
E is earthquake
F my fear of flying
G is global warming
And h is haiti
Ice caps melt
And judgment day

These are the words I had to erase
These are the things I won't have to face
Cause I live in a world of peace and harmony
I don't read the news so it doesn't touch me

K is for the killers
L is for the liars
Mama why'd you bring me here
Cause you knew about the nukes
And I'm sure you knew
About over-population
So maybe I should quit
Cause I don't wanna risk
Seeing this transpire
Safe under the ground
I won't have to view
This world as it expires
Y and z

These are the words I could not erase
These are the things I will have to face
Cause I live in a world of war and poverty
I don't read the news but it still touches me

And there's something kinda nice
About living in end times
We don't believe in God
Just turning out the lights

I could start smoking again
And it wouldn't even matter
Cause the world won't be around
Long enough for me to get cancer

I know this to be true
But I don't see it as bad
Think we had a good run
Look at all the fun we had

And I live life every day
And if these words are my last
Then I'll love it even more
Cause I'll know it's all I had
