Welcome to the wilderness
There aren’t any rules
Your adaptations will be naive
And your wisdom the stuff of fools.

You came in from the garden
Where your nature was contained
You’ll necessarily harden
In the chaos, unrestrained

The people on the patio
With their wine and their cheese and their glee
And business as usual as usual
Will always be blind to what you see

Welcome to the wilderness
Where mother nature is a slut
Look out for the asshole alpha squirrel
He will treat you like a nut
