What About Me |
| 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 falling down |
| and the airs not good to breathe |
| and those of us who care enough |
| we hope to do something |
| ohh ooh what you gunna do about me? |
| ohh ooh what you gunna do about me? |
| your newspapers, they just put you out |
| they never tell you the whole story |
| they just put your young ideas down |
| i was wondering, could this be the end |
| of your pride and glory? |
| oh ooh what you gunna do about me? |
| oh ooh what you gunna do about me? |
| i work in your factories |
| 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 |
| oh ooh what you gunna do about me? |
| oh ooh what you gunna do about me? |
| and i feel like a stranger |
| in the land where i was born |
| and i live like an outlaw |
| and im always on the run |
| and im always getting busted |
| and i got to take a stand |
| i believe the revolution |
| must be mighty close at hand |
| oh ooh what you gunna do about me? |
| oh ooh what you gunna do about me? |
| i smoke marijuana |
| but i can’t get behind your wars |
| and most of what i do believe |
| is against most of your laws |
| im a fugitive from injustice |
| but im going to be free |
| cos your rules and regulations |
| heh, they don’t do a thing for me |
| oh ooh what you gunna do about me? |
| oh ooh what you gunna do about me? |
| and i feel like a stranger |
| in the land where i was born |
| and i live just like an outlaw |
| and im always on the run |
| and though you maybe stronger now |
| my time will come around |
| you keep adding to my numbers |
| as you shoot my people down |
| oh ohh what about me?(oh ooh what you gunna do about me?) |
| come on oohhh about me (oh ooh what you gunna do about me?) |
| and i said (oh ooh what you gunna do about me?) |
| i wanna know (oh ooh what you gunna do about me?) |
| and what about me now (oh ooh what you gunna do about me?) |
| oh ooh what you gunna do about me? |
| i ain’t looking for no trouble baby |
| no trouble, but. |
