In the radio play Snow Blow Hard: Xmas with a Vengeance, the Ghost of Holidays Past tries to get billionaire PJ Dimdeed to contemplate how he's cheated, stolen, and polluted his way to the top. However, Dimdeed is proud of his innovative methods of making profit.
(PJ Dimdeed:)
I've done it all to make a buck
I've seized and squeezed opportunity
It's got nothing to do with luck
I'm a piece of work, I'm a one-man dynasty
I'm a legend
But really, I'm just a regular sort of guy
(Ghost of Holidays Past:)
You're poisoining the land
You must control your greed
There's a better way
You must confront your life
(PJ Dimdeed:)
I'm a rebel and I deserve a medal
For inventing recycling
I feed corpses to my hogs
I spread stoxic sludge on crops
I got rich by never wasting nothing
I'm the badass grandpappy of the green revolution
When you thaw your frozen dinner and you plop it on your plate
Think of me and tell me ain't I great?
It takes a lot of land but I can get that cheap
Good soil, now that takes work and time away from profit
So I soak my potatoes in a bath of chemicals
Just spray lots of chemicals, that's how you grow potatoes.
(PJ Dimdeed:)
I'm a rebel and I deserve a medal
For inventing recycling
I feed corpses to my hogs
I spread stoxic sludge on crops
I got rich by never wasting nothing
I'm the badass grandpappy of farm mass production
When you thaw your frozen dinner and you plop it on your plate
Think of me and tell me ain't I great?
(Ghost of Holidays Past:)
PJ, PJ come with me
Come with me, Take my hand
We're going back, I'll make you see
How you came to be, PJ.
