I need a new ironic tee shirt
Something quirky and hip
Bold and dripping with wit
By an artist so obscure
It is assured
Of him you have never heard
It needs a political message
Some social commentary
So pithy and surprising
With Xtra Large meaning
That it hits you where you live
Changes all your preconceptions
Poignant, sharp-tongued optimism
With boots in the street
And no embarrassing corporate connections
That’s what I need
A mighty new black tee shirt
To change the world
To fully express the irony
That is me
In an organic fair trade tee
Something quirky and hip
Bold and dripping with wit
By an artist so obscure
It is assured
Of him you have never heard
It needs a political message
Some social commentary
So pithy and surprising
With Xtra Large meaning
That it hits you where you live
Changes all your preconceptions
Poignant, sharp-tongued optimism
With boots in the street
And no embarrassing corporate connections
That’s what I need
A mighty new black tee shirt
To change the world
To fully express the irony
That is me
In an organic fair trade tee
