lyrics

What about me?


You've poisoned my cool waters
you've cut down my green trees
and the food that you feed my children
is the source of their disease
My world is slowly falling down
and the air is not fit to breathe
and those of us who care enough
have to do something

oh what you going to do about me 2x

Your newspapers,
they just put you on
They'll never tell you the whole story
They just put your young ideas down
and I was wondering
if this was the end of their pride and glory

oh what you gonna do about me ×4

‘Cuz I’ve worked in your factories
and I’ve studied in your schools
We fill your penitentiary and your military too
We can feel the future trembling
as the word is passed around
If you stick up for what you believe
be prepared to be cut down

oh what you gonna do about me ×4

‘Cuz I feel like a stranger
in the land where I was born
I live just like an outlaw
always on the run
They got me
Always on the run ×4

All your soldiers smoke marijuana
can't put put them behind the bars
‘Cuz most of what you taught them to do
is against most of your laws
We are all fugitives from injustice
but we're going to be free
because your rules and regulations
don't do good things for we

Oh, what you gonna do about me ×4


‘Cuz you may be stronger now
but my time will come around
You keep adding to my numbers
as you shoot my people down
We can feel the future trembling
as the word has passed around
We will stick up for what we know
We're prepared to be cut down

oh what you gonna do about me x4

‘Cuz I live like a stranger
in the land where I was born
I live just like an outlaw
always on the run
They got me
always on the run x4

Always ×4

Don't ask me why
no don't ask me why
Don't ask me why
cuz I would like to know
