Revision as of 00:04, 28 December 2010
Who are these people that keep telling us lies
And how did these people get control of our lives
And who'll stop the violence 'cause it's out of control?
Make 'em stop
Who are these people that destroy everything
And sell off the future for whatever it brings
And what kind of leaders can't admit when they're wrong?
Make 'em stop
This stupid mess we're in just keeps getting worse
So many people dying needlessly
Looks like these liars may inherit the earth
Even pretending to pray
And getting away with it
Who are these people that keep telling us lies
And how did these people get control of our lives
And who'll stop the violence 'cause it's out of control?
We've got to make them stop
Who are these people that keep telling us lies
And how did these people get control of our lives
And who'll stop the violence 'cause it's out of control?
Make 'em stop
See things really have to change
Before it's too late *
* (Alternate lyric in the "explicit version":)
Or we're all fucked
