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 favors for you friends and waste all our time?And 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 stabilityAnd 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 toysWe'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 understandWe'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 understandDon'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 economyAnd 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 boatsAnd 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 moneyBut I tell you something right now old man And this is a fair old warning to you That the people are waking up And they're gonna make you accountable tooJust like the Nazi trials in Nuremberg 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 Don't understand, don't understand Don't understand, what head space you are inDon't understand, don't understand Don't understand, what head space you are in Don't understand, don't understand Don't understandSo it must be lies you're speaking It must be lies you're speakingAnd the land that you love He could not give a damn about And the ocean that you love He could not give a shit aboutAnd the trees that you love Do you think he could give a fuck about And the family that you love You think he could give a damn about
