Like June nineteen forty-four,
When all our pappies went to war,
We prayed before the radio, oh-oh
But when the apple dropped that day
We stood and watched them blow away
A people full of yesterday, ay-ay
(Chorus)
'Cause we don’t think before we speak
And we don’t stand up for the weak
And we don’t listen to the freaks, the freaks
'Cause we don’t clean up our own shit
And when refused, we throw a fit
As we scream “I don't-wanna-hear-it”, “I don't-wanna-hear-it”
“Don't-wanna-hear-it”
Open refrigerator door
All the same products as before
Can’t find new places to explore, oh oh
Born with five senses, but we see
Much less of world reality
Do you believe your lunch is free, ee-ee
(Chorus)
'Cause we don’t think before we speak
And we don’t stand up for the weak
And we don’t listen to the freaks, the freaks
'Cause we don’t clean up our own shit
And when refused, we throw a fit
As we scream “I don't-wanna-hear-it”, “I don't-wanna-hear-it”
“Don't-wanna-hear-it”
Ale The-u-oh, Swili Tako-e (x2)
The institution you attend
And all the clones that you befriend
Just seem to finalize your end, eh-eh
I can recall what mother said,
'Who you become is how you're fed.
Truth is by heart, not in your head', ey-eh
Come again? Come again?
'Cause I can't see.
Come again? Come again?
'Cause I can't feel.
Come again?
Come again?
Come again? Come again?
'Cause I can't see.
Come again? Come again?
'Cause I can't feel. [You can't feel.]
Can't be free. (x11)
Can't be, can't be free.
Ale The-u-oh Swili Tako-e (x2)
[That means you can't feel. You can't feel me anymore. No, you can't feel anymore. Anymore. Yeah, yeah. Anymore of it. You can't be so free. You can't be.]
