What About Me - Quicksilver Messenger Service

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.
