I refuse! Don’t want it! Don’t need it! Won’t touch it! Won’t drink it! You see them brewin’ on the corner You smell them roastin’ down the street, At ev’ry hour they’re in there sippin’ You wonder what these people eat! They’re infiltrating ev’ry stripmall! And their addiction’s on the rise, They’re coaxing caffeinated zombies With beady hypertensive eyes Don’t want it sprinkled on my breakfast. (Get it off my Cheerios) Please don’t inject it in my veins (I’m afraid of needles) I’d like a less addictive habit, Something in a primary color that won’t make static of my brains. Latte, Moccha, Cappuccino, Breve, Grande, Americano, Single, Double, Strong espresso, Red eye, Straight grind, Mud! I call on every rebel out there Don't let them take away your choice Lift up your mugs and be united Defend your freedom with one voice! They say you’ve only got one option, (Call’d my broker yesterday) To pay the market so you win, (Can’t denounce it as a sin!) They say you don’t have to drink it, Just be a little more creative If you can rake the money in. Iced and blended, Foam’d and frothy; Buy your stocks In cups of coffee! This is what it is This is what it means When ev’rything is said and done it’s just a load of water washing' thru a hill of beans.
