*The Future Children Project* <http://watch?v=fwlW4lx6TTo&feature=plcp> (
link to video)
This very disturbing video has been making the rounds to promote the Obama
Campaign and get out the vote. It is the brainchild and pet project of
Jeff Goodby, a founder of the award winning, San Francisco-based
advertising agency Goodby Silverstein &
Partners<http://goodbysilverstein.com/#/work>

Mr. Goodby, a Harvard Ivy Leaguer wrote the lyrics sung by the children's
chorus :
Imagine an America
Where strip mines are fun and free
Where gays can be fixed
And sick people just die
And oil fills the sea
We don't have to pay for freeways!
Our schools are good enough
Give us endless wars
On foreign shores
And lots of Chinese stuff
We're the children of the future
American through and through
But something happened to our country
And we're kinda blaming you
We haven't killed all the polar bears
But it's not for lack of trying
Big Bird is sacked
The Earth is cracked
And the atmosphere is frying
Congress went home early
They did their best we know
You can't cut spending
With elections pending
Unless it's welfare dough
We're the children of the future
American through and through
But something happened to our country
And we're kinda blaming you
Find a park that is still open
And take a breath of poison air
They foreclosed your place
To build a weapon in space
But you can write off your au pair
It's a little awkward to tell you
But you left us holding the bag
When we look around
The place is all dumbed down
And the long term's kind of a drag
*We're the children of the future*
*American through and through*
*But something happened to our country*
*And yeah, we're blaming you*
* *
*You did your best*
*You failed the test*
*Mom and Dad*
*We're blaming you!*
