What about the flies

 WHAT ABOUT THE FLIES (E A D F# A D)

What about the flies? What about the rats? What about the roaches climbing up the walls? What about the king who’s just about to fall?

What about the fish in water so clear, looking for an ocean they will never reach? What about the rocks? What about the stones? What about the boulders?

 

And what about the rich? What about the wealthy? What about the one percent who all own all the property? What about the housos? What about the children of housos who spend their whole lives in the housos?

And what about the ones who get rich? Now the housos are rich and the wealthy are poor or in jail or divorced or in jail or divorced or in jail.

 

But what about the flowers? What about the leaves? What about the mountains? What about the oceans? What about the kookaburra who’s been following me? And I know that he’s looking out for my family.

But what about the dead bird that I buried in the sand? What about the pile of feathers I left there? And what about the flies?
