Someone stuck me on the losing side
|
Everything is someone else's fault
|
We're not good enough for me to care
|
|
And the mantra is
|
"Too much effort, there's never time"
|
And your sole solution is a high pitched whine
|
It's not red-hot coals, it's not busted glass
|
There's no Mau-Maus after your sweet pink ass
|
|
So if not now when, if not now when, if not now when?
|
If not you, who then?
|
|
No one wants to be the first to fail
|
I won't play unless you guard my back
|
|
And the mantra is
|
"Change the system, and please arrange it
|
To change some way that I feel no change"
|
It's not flaming necklaces, household spies
|
There's no market bombings, no bullets fly
|
|
Bosnia, Bosnia
|
Try spelling "Herzegovina"
|
Where money talks and bullshit walks
|
The bullet or the ballet box
|
|
Babylon, oh Babylon
|
We babble on in Babylon
|
The TV blows, the music sucks
|
The bullet or the ballot box
|
|
We're not good enough for me to care
|
|
And the mantra is
|
"Leave the gun on the table loaded
|
The first to grab it's as good as voted in"
|

If Not Now, When?
