Holistic Remedy


	
	This is the world that man made.
	These are the ills that plagued
	The world that man made.
	This is the doctor prescribing the pills
	That treated the ills that plagued
	The world that man made.
	These are the plants and labs and mills
	That manufactured all the pills the doctor
	Gave to treat the ills that plagued
	The world that man made.
	This is the banker with tellers and tills
	That backed the plants and labs and mills
	That manufactured all the pills the doctor
	Gave to treat the ills that plagued
	The world that man made.
	This is the general with  trumpets and trills
	Who made the war that saved the bank that
	Backed the plants that manufactured all the pills
	The doctor gave to treat the ills that plagued
	The world that man made.
	Here is the mother all forlorn
	Whose one and only child was born
	To die in the war the general made to save
	The bank that backed the plants that made
	The pills the doctor gave to treat the ills
	That plagued the world that man made.
	This is the angel that blew his horn
	To comfort the mother all forlorn
	And fired the general and closed the banks
	And shut the mills and scattered the pills,
	Retired the doctor and cured the ills
	And ended the world that man made.
