well it was obvious that the government was ignoring us. it's hard to drag yourself through empty streets
on an empty stomach and no sleep. the shortcomings got clearer
as the price we paid got dearer and dearer. it's supposed to be a case of give and take -
well i was feeling the give and making a mistake. and i've heard it said that the unexamined life
isn't much worth living
and i'm sure they're right. but it's hard to keep on fighting the good fight
when no one else seems bothered
yeah
when no one's on your side. i've got friends who are bankers
and it's an easy rhyme to call them wankers
but i must say i envy the way that they live
in a style that's all take and no give
while i'm playing the lone ranger
riding to the rescue of six billion strangers
armed with only unoriginal songs
and a sense that something's wrong. and i must admit that i'm tired of saying no" all the time. but i must admit that i don't really know what would be right. and if politics is helping all the people then my political career is pretty fucked
