In 2007 the prophetic singer-songwriter David Ford released his second studio album entitled “Songs for the Road.” In his realistic and depressing ode to modern society, Ford sings of the world getting heavy and sticking to his feet. Yet, one verse in particular makes the song rather telling.
“So we sell out our kids for a tank full of gas
And a lifetime in plastics for a fistful of cash
Let the rivers run dry let the economy crash
And let the discotheques resound to the requiem mass”
Aint this just wonderful but unfortunately true.
