I once wrote my own song to send to Sesame Street in hopes that they would use it in an episode of the show. Unfortunately Sesame Workshop said that the song was too "politically incorrect" and were afraid of a controversy if they aired such a thing. All I wanted to do was teach the show's child audience the truth about life as an adult. I mean, yeah the show mainly teaches about letters, numbers, shapes, colors, and all that shit but how about an episode that actually teaches kids about real life? Here's the lyrics to what could've been a great Sesame Street song written by yours truly if those PC bastards at Sesame Workshop hadn't rejected it:

"Earth child, Earth child, look how you play now, One love in one world, the glory of children

Look how you play, children together, Skipping along, not a care in the world

But when you're old, no one wants to know you, You've got too many cats to be healthy and after the death of your spouse, you stay in your house, never leaving, never seeing the sun

Earth child, Earth child, enjoy how you play now The innocence astounds me Let the world cradle you in sunshine For the love it spreads is yours alone

When you're old, no-one seems to care There's no point in going on, there's nowhere to be The money the government gives you doesn't stretch for a month It only lasts two days and then you starve

Your husband's dead and your father, he died so many years ago now, you can't remember his smile

Earth child, Earth child, enjoy how you play now Run wild and free, like wolves in clothes Earth child, Earth child, read a book now, but read it outside in the sun

For when you're old, the weight of the world will crush your shoulders And every friend you have that exists now will not exist because they'll no doubt die before you (Earth child)

Earth child, Earth child, enjoy your friends and loved ones Let not the weight of the world crush you now Let the wind run through your hair Let the braces straighten your teeth (not a care)

For when you're old the world will break you Like Ivan Drago

Never get old, Earth Child Find a way to stay young You can stay young, do not die, please stay young Do not die, stay young Build a machine, build a machine I wish I could tell you but it's not possible to build a machine So life will always suck no matter what.

Stay young, Earth child.
