|
You can blame it on the government,
|
The unions,
|
They use you all you life,
|
You can take system and make believe
|
it will be alright,
|
They've taken the spirit of your life,
|
And given you a machine.
|
No wonder you feel so hard done by
|
|
Chorus
|
They're doing the best for you,
|
Well that's what they say,
|
I know what you're going through.
|
You travel alone,
|
The journey is long,
|
With only a name,
|
In search of a song.
|
|
You can blame it on the Catholics,
|
The Jews,
|
The Blacks,
|
And the Whites.
|
You can take any doctrine and surely waste
|
another life.
|
Any way that you want it to be,
|
By popular demand
|
Any way but the way it should be.
|
|
Chorus
|
They're doing the best for you,
|
Well that's what they say,
|
I know what you're going through.
|
You travel alone,
|
The journey is long,
|
With only a name,
|
In search of a home.
|
|
The world is ruled by science and money,
|
That's all that exists.
|
How much longer must we live and die
|
for this.
|
|
Chorus
|
Doing the best for you,
|
Doing the best for you,
|
Doing the best for you.
|
You travel alone,
|
The journey is long,
|
From where do you come,
|
To where do you go.
