Beautiful, touching, timely.  I can just picture Phil Collins singing the first verse (and overdoing it).

I wrote this song this morning. It was inspired by all of the great lyricists in Prog.
 
It's called...
 
 
No Worries
 
I wrote this song this morning
While I was scooping poop
I do it for my doggies
cause they can't scoop their poop.
 
Obama's in the White House
While I'm right here in my house
I see him on TV but I don't think
That he can see me
 
(Chorus)
Oblivion's a luxury that I cannot afford
Oblivion's a luxury that I cannot afford
Oblivion's a luxury that I cannot afford
Oblivion's a luxury that I cannot afford
 
Sometimes I'm too lazy
To work down in my shop
Other times my wife yells at me
'Cause I refuse to stop
 
Obama's on the TV
And he's found a way to heel me
He'll make a new adventure
So I can afford some dentures
 
I'm gonna get a doctor
Who can tell me when to die
Don't worry about illness
Don't even have to try
 
Middle 8
 
Chorus
 
I like to walk my doggies
But no matter how I try
I've yet to see a Mountain
Just come out of the sky
and stand there.

This is a classic example of why progressive music doesn’t have a larger audience.  This genre, which I generally love , has some of the

worst lyrics in the history of music.  Some of this music would be best left as an instrumental IMHO.
