Are they helpful or harmful?

Poison | Danger Rangers


"Poison, it's not the thing to mess around with and you know that cuz you're smart.

Poisons, those are some chemicals your mother puts inside the grocery cart.

Poisons, there are skull and crossbones on those bottles that you find beneath the sink.

Like when you use to clean the drain and cuz you've got a great big brain,

You know the kind of stuff is not to eat or drink.

Like detergents, disinfectants, boric acid, liquid bleach,

And the spray you use to get your oven clean.

Or noxious shampoo for your rugs,

There's insecticide for bugs.

Cleansers, lighter fluid, paint, and gasoline,

There's epoxy and there's glue, and also polish for your shoe

And then that stuff that keeps your bathroom toilet clean.

There's the gunk to rub off tarnish,

And there's primer, stain, and varnish,

Cans of lye and powdered dye and kerosene.

Poison, you're way too clever then you ever touch those cans inside the shed.

Poison, cuz you know how to read that warning with the letters marked in red.

Poison, it comes in bottles, boxes, cans and if you find them is a stack,

See your chemicals to dodge on the shelf in your garage.

In the laundry room and storage bin out back.

Things like antifreeze, ammonia, oil, spot-remover, starch,

Toxic aerosols and charcoal or chlorine.

There's that stuff to wash the floor and to grease the kitchen door,

And the gunk that keeps the carburetor clean.

There's that spray you use to dust and all that stuff to clean out rust,

And there's arsenic and liquid iodine.

There's adhesives and congealants, astringents, rubber sealants,

Cans of sterno and propane, and turpentine.

When you are cool cause your the kind, you is smart to use your mind,

And any chemicals you find,

You leave alone."
