Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
I've been sitting here all day
Trying to understand
Why people want to rule each other
When the problem's close at hand

A little less of what you want
And more of what you've got
Is enough to keep you struggling
Without hatching other plots

But justify yourself!
Don't satisfy yourself!
You should be out there voting
Say the power mongers gloating

The left-wing rich
Trying to shed their guilt
Go knocking down dreams
Before they're even built
Don't tell me how to live my life
Don't tell me what to do
Repression is always brought about
By people with politics and attitudes like you
I've been sitting here all day   Trying to understand   Why people want to rule each other   When the problem's close at hand      A little less of what you want   And more of what you've got   Is enough to keep you struggling   Without hatching other plots      But justify yourself!   Don't satisfy yourself!   You should be out there voting   Say the power mongers gloating      The left-wing rich   Trying to shed their guilt   Go knocking down dreams   Before they're even built   Don't tell me how to live my life   Don't tell me what to do   Repression is always brought about   By people with politics and attitudes like you
