The Price of Soda

well, i've been going to the grocery stores
and i've noticed a few things
the price of water has been going up,
just like gasoline.
and the price of soda has been going down,
god, it keeps on getting cheaper

and maybe there's a way that we could learn to run our cars on it.

and oh god
it never stops being so damn funny
every time i twist off a plastic bottle cap
and pour that stupid sugar water down my throat

all those phosphorescent neon colors
and the extreme packaging
i never fail to savor all the silly little bubbles
falling down my throat and eating my poor guts

it's a long way to the top,
it's a long way to the bottom.
