Watching Scotty Die - Mischief Brew

I’ve got a kid

His name is Scott

He’s goin' blind

And his blood just will not clot

The doctors line in rows

To stick tubes up Scotty’s nose

There is the field

Where Scotty used to play

Until Ortho Orange Number 42

Was dumped in it one day

I think it’s so funny

I laugh until I cry

Just me and God

Watchin' Scotty die

Just me and God

Watchin' Scotty die

The chemical plant across the street

Leaves off steam that colours our white sheets

It’s been happening for years

Now I’m crying rainbow tears

One day my dog went out to play

Instead of grey he came back coloured yellow

The chemical men said stay mellow

It happens all the time

Now Scotty’s skin is lime

I think it’s so funny

I laugh until I cry

Just me and God

Watchin' Scotty die

Just me and God

Watchin' Scotty die
