Lyrics for What About Me? by Quicksilver Messenger Service:
| | | Artist: | Quicksilver Messenger Service |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | What About Me? | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 306 | | | | Lyrics: | (Released December of 1970)
You poisoned my sweet water.
You cut down my green trees.
The food you fed my children
Was the cause of their disease.
My world is slowly
fallin' down
And the airs not good to breathe.
And those of us who care enough,
We
have to do something.......
(Chorus)
Oh.......oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh.......oh What you gonna do about me?
Your newspapers,
They just put you on.
They never tell you
The whole story.
They just put your
Young ideas down.
I was wonderin' could this be the end
Of your pride and glory?
(Chorus)
I work in your factory.
I study in your schools.
I fill your penitentiaries.
And your military too!
And I feel the future trembling,
As the word is passed
around.
"If you stand up for what you do believe,
Be prepared to be shot down."
(Chorus)
And I feel like a stranger
In the land where I was born
And I
live like an outlaw.
An' I'm always on the run..........................
An Im always
getting busted
And I got to take a stand........
I believe the revolution
Must be
mighty close at hand.......................
(Chorus)
I smoke marijuana
But
I cant get behind your wars.
And most of what I do believe
Is against most of your laws
I'm a fugitive from injustice
But I'm goin' to be free.
Cause your rules and
regulations
They dont do the thing for me
(Chorus)
And I feel like a
stranger
In the land where I was born
And I live just like an outlaw.
An' I'm always
on the run. | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
