Did you ever stop to think about whatcha gonna do
|
With your responsibility?
|
Or did you,
|
Just take this job cause it would
|
Be good for the money
|
And did you
|
Ever stop to think
|
About your duty to mankind
|
Or did you,
|
Think ya take this job do favours
|
For you friends and waste all our time?
|
So tell me man
|
Do you realize what you're doing to this good country?
|
Cause you're selling it all away for your economic
|
Stability
|
And you,
|
Justify everything you do
|
With the people that you say you're gonna employ
|
But the unemployment line is getting bigger every year
|
And you treat us all like toys.
|
We're just expendable to you
|
Along now with this land
|
And there ain't no room left for empathy
|
And this is something I don't understand
|
Don't make no sense to me
|
Justifying everything we do on our economy
|
And there ain't no room
|
No more room left for human decency
|
Justifying everything we do on our economy
|
And the only time you listen to the people
|
Is when you think you won't get their vote
|
Otherwise you really could not give a shit
|
Don't mind rockin all our boats
|
And the greatest living friend is a man who goes by
|
The name of apathy
|
And we let you get away with everything you like so
|
You make all your money
|
But I tell you something right now old man
|
And this is a fair old warning to you
|
That the people are waking up
|
And gonna make you accountable too
|
Just like the nazi trials in Nuremburg
|
Hell not so long ago
|
Gonna make you pay for what you have done
|
Gonna make you responsible
|
Cause I don't understand
|
don't understand
|
don't understand
|
what head space you are in
|
so it must be lies you're speaking
|
and the land that you love he could not give a damn
|
about
|
and the ocean that you love do you think he could give
|
a fuck about?
|
And the family that you love do you think he could give
|
A damn about?
|
