If there ain't no choice
then there ain't no fight.
The pride of the west is the shame of the east
There's too much ego and not enough to eat.
What they read between the words they read between the lines
They see everything
but they can't see that they're blind.
You talk about this and they talk about that
But talk is talk and facts are facts.
Sit down
sit up
it's your situation
what we want is participation.
Sit down
sit up
it's your situation
what we need is participation.
Get behind me
come on get behind me.
How much longer must we wait for you to realize?
We have got to put things straight
'cause we're running out of time.
The leaders of the world should hide their heads in shame
From cabinet to cabinet it's the price of fame.
Pollution in the air
pollution in our minds
But what we all want is to get some peace of mind.
We're stuck to our TVs
we're glued to our seats
We like to watch the news
'cause we're addicts for repeats.
So put your money where your mouth is
put your fingess in the socke
Wipe that smile off your face
and take your hands out of your pockets
Sit down
sit up
it's your situation
what we want is participation. . . .
Get behind me
come on get
get
get behind me.
How much longer must we wait for you to realize? . . .
How much longer must we wait for you to realize?
It don't matter
it don't matter to me
But if no one cares then I despair we will drown in our apathy.
Say what you will
say what you like
The question is: who would stand
stand and take the blame?
How much longer must we wait for you to realize? . . .
How much longer must we wait for you to realize? . . .
How much longer must we wait for you to realize? . . .
How much longer must we wait for you to realize? . . .
