lyrics

Oh say, can you see what they're doin'
By the light of the third world burning down
They take the world from riches to ruins
For the sake of a boss, a cross, a crown
And they get away with it 'cos no one gives a fuck
It's just a TV documentary, it might as well be a comic book
About some place we'll never see
And another culture's tough luck
Never mind The Man
Just stick with the plan and it'll work out fine
Never mind the ones who've fallen under
Keep it to your self, and don't you ever wonder why
You've spent a lifetime following orders
While the night grows darker and the days get shorter
You're keeping warm by the light of a television
Don't you ever wonder why?
Modern day Pilate's got newspaper ink stains
They come out easy and forgotten by lunch time
You sit back and let the state explain
Cluck your tongue for those poor fuckers dying
And that's exactly where responsibility ends
What the hell's a "Kosovo"?
It's not my fuckin' problem
I've got my own sovereignty and culture to defend
Never mind The Man
Just stick with the plan and it'll work out fine
Never mind the ones who've fallen under
Keep it to your self, and don't you ever wonder why
You've spent a lifetime following orders
While the night grows darker and the days get shorter
You're keeping warm by the light of a television
Don't you ever wonder why?
Every day, another cause, another crisis
Another headline screams to deaf ears
Another voice no one will ever hear...
