Oh, beautiful for smoggy skies

Oh 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.
~~~ performed by George Carlin
around 1970, when environmental
issues were becoming
a hot political topic
