People say I'm no good   But they never never do they say   Why their world is so mixed up   Or how it got that way      They all look at me and they frown   Do I really look so strange   If they really dug themselves   I know they'd want to change      Everybody says you're no good   'Cause you don't do like they think you should   Do you expect them   An' do you expect you to act like them   Look at them man   Look at the fix they're in      I don't care I don't care what they say   Just let 'em sit there and burn   The young might not be so dumb after all   An' from the young you might even learn      Everybody says you're no good   'Cause Charles you don't do   You don't do like they think you should   Do you expect them to act like you   Do you expect them   To expect you to act like them   Do you expect to see   Do you expect the fool to see what a fix he's in   Do you expect the fool to see what a fix he's in      In your cardboard houses    An' your tin-can cars   You sit there and you wonder   You wonder where you are      Those diamond rings they're obscene   You sit there and you wonder   And you say who's to blame   Take a look at yourself   Take yourself off the shelf   You can't belong to nobody      With your Can't-Cough medicine   And your wonder drug   You got, more sickness    Than you got cures of   WHISPER:   Cancer o' the mind
