Paroles
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
