UBI from There There by Walter Etc.

"It's under the mattress
in a folded ziplock back
just be careful the rug doesn't get pulled out from under your feet again

Take it to the candidate
ask him what he plans to do with it?
Tell him that it's all we have
but we truly believe in him...

...Babe, you remember what I said about the BUI?"

"Wait what is that again? Boating Under the Influence?"

"Nah babe it's the difference between
a child exploiting marketing scheme
vs my sappy soul hugging pop songs
and you saving the environment

It's a buffet of contraceptives and more days off
it's clean energy and free drugs for all
it's a sleepy nanny state
kids in the street with chalk drawing beautiful mayhem

Baby this is how we stay forever young
Our love will last forever and our lives will have meaning again
But babe I was mistaken, it's actually UBI
Now, does that ring a bell?"

"Well then of course you idiot"

"Baby this is how we stay forever young
Our love will last forever and our lives will have meaning again
but babe I am now certain it's actually UBI
and I apologize I'm never good with acronyms."
