I know I like doing a lot of talking. Time goes on, I'm talking still
|
While soldier girls are dodging grenades
|
and rockets, and moms and dads are paying the bill
|
And they say, it's the only way
|
Ooh, it's the only way
|
And the play like it's a game
|
Oooh, it's like it's a game
|
|
Sometimes there's something about my being on the sidelines doesn't jibe
|
And I know why the millions of working people,
|
they would fight if they had time
|
And they say, it's the only way
|
Ooh, it's the only way
|
And they play like it's a game
|
Oooh, it's like it's a game
|
|
Well what can you say to take that weight away?
|
I look into the endless bottom, and all I want is what should be.
|
And I'm damned ashamed to feel this rotten
|
Can we reclaim what's been forgotten?
|
The state of the State don't let me feel that safe.
|
I want to take it to the tired and affronted, and all they want is one who'll lead
|
but I'll put it to you plain and bluntly:
|
I'm worried for my tired country
|
That look on your face - don't let it go to waste
|
Take it to the floor of Congress
|
Look into the Core of Rotten
|
Turn into the one who got us out.
