    O beautiful for smoggy skies
    Insecticided grain
    For strip-mined mountain’s majesty
    Above the asphalt plain!

    America! America!
    Man sheds his waste on thee
    And hides the pines with billboard signs
    From sea to oily sea!

    (Not to greenwash China, but Carlin didn’t do a song for them.)

      If you “don’t mean to” do a thing, don’t “apologize” beforehand and do it anyway, Jessica.

      Carlin didn’t “do a song” for China for any number of reasons, and this sloppy aside seems to imply that he wouldn’t have bcz their gov’t’s so idyllic. Ick. 🤮🤌🏼
