lyrics

Burn your crops with herbicides and ethylene
Cut the tops off the plants that look deformed and mean

An ounce of prevention beats a milligram of cure
You'll never burn enough to make things better than they were

All you do is slash and burn
Then you throw our thoughts away
All you do is slash and burn
While you take away our days

Pink ribbons in my hair to hide the lanthionization and dye
Charge it on my new pink Visa I can use the receipt to wipe my eyes

An ounce of prevention beats a milligram of cure
You'll never burn enough to make things better than they were

All you do is slash and burn
Then you throw our thoughts away
All you do is slash and burn
While you take away our days

Look up from your DSM hears another point of reference:
Treat my circumstances with belief and trust and deference

Because an ounce of respect beats a pound of sympathy
You'll never burn enough to bring me back to purity

All you do is slash and burn
Then you throw our thoughts away
All you do is slash and burn
While you take away our days
