Dear Atom, You Do Not Want Children. Love, Atom Songtext

von Atom and His Package

Opened up a letter, I wrote to myself.
It was postmarked 7 years before.
What are the reasons why I don't want no babies?
I will not insult intelligence and sit here and name these.
I knew then that later, I was going to ignore.

A change on the inside?
Or a switch on the outside?
We're going down, down, down, down, down.

I have two important pieces of paper now.
This one says "give this boy a job".
But they don't come too often anymore.
The other says, "you two love each other very very much".
So celebration flows but sanction ebbs.
Can you believe I want a child now?
After so much whining, and resistance to

A change on the inside?
Or a switch on the outside?
We're going down, down, down, down, down.

[Chorus]
You were always talking about
Whoa oh oh,
You were always talking about
Whoa oh oh.

What modification is next?
Please don't be spiritual solution.
Do I need to write a letter to myself?
Stop. Judge. Evolution!

A change on the inside?
Or a switch on the outside?
We're going down, down, down, down, down.

[Chorus]
