7. CLEANLINESS: TODAY’S
SCENARIO
My name is “couldn’t care less”,
Just let the papers lie.
My name is “can’t be bothered”,
Who cares about the rockets that fly?
My name is “I’m too busy”,
Let someone else do the worrying.
There’s nothing that I can do.
If someone keeps throwing all the dirt in.
My name is” Leave me alone”,
Just don’t go preaching to me.
Gossip is what I care about,
The school is getting dirty, let it be.
So stop saying what I should think,
I don’t want to believe what I’m told.
My name is “hope it’ll go away”,
My name is “don’t get involved.
And what do you think you are,
Telling us all we should worry?
WELL, MY NAME IS WARNING FROM FUTURE YEARS
IT’S “LISTEN OR YOU WILL BE SORRY
