"Lies Catch Up To You dot MP3"
Enjoy.

You can lie to your father,
you can lie to your son,
you can lie to just about
Everyone.

But you just can't lie to the moms.

You can lie to me,
you can lie to your own
You can lie to the camera or the telephone,

But you just can't lie to the moms.

Moms can see right through ya mr. bush,
The moms catch up to you.
Just like a lie coming into the light.
The moms catch up to you!

etc.

Some scenes from New Orleans resemble Mad Max, with refugee familes on smashed and deserted highways. More is coming if there is any truth to global warming.

Like hurricanes? Just keep driving that SUV! Don't like hurricanes, tornadoes, and droughts? Bike more, drive less. Everytime you fill that tank and step on the gas, you also throttle up global warming and all storms. SUV's driven here flood out families in New Orleans.
