now here this
do not panic
do as i say
do as i say
when heads of state get together
to pass the pipe of peace around
war - they gotta keep the numbers down
every double standard
they nail into the vanguard
and always let you down
raise it to the ground
do as i say
not as i do
you'd better
do as i say
not as i do
this means you
their smiles they keep in high profile
for paparazzi act docile
no - the lessons we will never learn
on television they stand out
to lead the way in the hand outs
cause there's money to be found
watch them spill it on the ground
do as i say
not as i do
you'd better
do as i say
not as i do
do as i say
not as i do
you'd better
do as i say
not as i do
well this means you
armageddon needs action
to stop the chain of reactions
oh - but business wheels keep turning round
they're headed on a one-way street
but still the profits taste oh so sweet
many mouths to feed
just let the suckers bleed
hear them say
do as i say
not as i do
you'd better
do as i say
not as i do
there talking to you
ah do as i say
not as i do
you'd better
do as i say
not as i do
this means you!
