    Point drops in
    Sneek the baby away
    If you blow on the dandeline
    You can make a wish
    For world peace?
    Only wish that can't come true
    Better off wishing
    The sky turn green
    Guitar pick in pocket
    Pays for food
    Under America
    We are such spoiled bastards
    I breath in pollen
    Sneeze out words
    Under the august moon
    And light my candle
    So I can burn it out again.

    love it... there's a lot to it.

    - critique of america's economic and environmental policies (green sky, reminds me of cash... spoiled bastards)

    - lamentation of the loss of innocence (sneaking the baby away, blowing on dandelions)

    - the last two lines... candle, symbolizing natural resources... in this case renewable... are you speaking of hope? love? or are you saying that we've got enough resources now, but we're using up our chances? maybe both are true?

    this probably isn't exactly what you meant, but it's what I saw... anything I missed?
