Songtext
0:30We'll call you when you're six years old
0:34And drag you to the factory
0:39To train your brain for eighteen years
0:43With promise of security
0:47But then you're free
0:52And forty years you waste to chase the dollar sign
0:57So you may die in Florida
1:04At the pleasant age of sixty nine
1:10The water's getting hard to drink
1:15We've mangled up the country side
1:19The air will choke you when you breathe
1:24We're all committing suicide
1:28But it's alright
1:33It's progress folks keep pushin' till your body rots
1:37Will strip the earth of all it's green
1:44And then divide her into parking lots
1:51But there's nothing you and I can do
1:56You and I are only two
1:57What's right and wrong is hard to say
2:00Forget about it for today
2:02We'll stick our heads into the sand
2:05Just pretend that all is grand
2:07Then hope that everything turns out ok
3:12But there's nothing you and I can do
3:17You and I are only two
3:19What's right and wrong is hard to say
3:21Forget about it for today
3:23We'll stick our heads into the sand
3:26Just pretend that all is grand
3:28Then hope that everything turns out ok
3:32You're free to speak your mind my friend
3:37As long as you agree with me
3:41Don't criticize the father land
3:46Or those who shape your destiny
3:50'Cause if you do
3:55You'll lose your job your mind and all the friends you knew
3:59We'll send out all our boys in blue
4:06They'll find a way to silence you
4:13But there's nothing you and I can do
4:18You and I are only two
4:20What's right and wrong is hard to say
4:22Forget about it for today
4:24We'll stick our heads into the sand
4:27Just pretend that all is grand
4:29Then hope that everything turns out ok
We'll call you when you're six years old And drag you to the factory To train your brain for eighteen years With promise of security But then you're free And forty years you waste to chase the dollar sign So you may die in Florida At the pleasant age of sixty nine The water's getting hard to drink We've mangled up the country side The air will choke you when you breathe We're all committing suicide But it's alright It's progress folks keep pushin' till your body rots Will strip the earth of all it's green And then divide her into parking lots But there's nothing you and I can do You and I are only two What's right and wrong is hard to say Forget about it for today We'll stick our heads into the sand Just pretend that all is grand Then hope that everything turns out ok But there's nothing you and I can do You and I are only two What's right and wrong is hard to say Forget about it for today We'll stick our heads into the sand Just pretend that all is grand Then hope that everything turns out ok You're free to speak your mind my friend As long as you agree with me Don't criticize the father land Or those who shape your destiny 'Cause if you do You'll lose your job your mind and all the friends you knew We'll send out all our boys in blue They'll find a way to silence you But there's nothing you and I can do You and I are only two What's right and wrong is hard to say Forget about it for today We'll stick our heads into the sand Just pretend that all is grand Then hope that everything turns out ok
