Don't Ask Me - Public Image Ltd.

What you gonna do

When the river runs dry

Put your drills in the mud

And death up in the sky

You should have saved those bottles

You should have saved those cans

You shouldn’t ought’a listen to the plastic man

And there’s no more toilet paper

It’s gone just like the trees

Do you like the taste of honey

Isn’t it best without the bees

Be careful what you’re doing

You’re messing up my life

And if all the world’s a cake

Then you cut too big a slice

What’s it all about

They scream and then they shout

Don’t ask me

Cause I don’t know

What’s it all about

They scream and then they shout

Don’t blame me

I told you so

You read it in the papers

You hear it on the news

Very few listen

A spew without a view

And is it really worth it

Choking on remote

I can see the red tide coming

But I don’t even vote

Infection in the greenhouse

Dizzy in the clouds

Oily as an ocean

Heaven disembowelled

Still planning on a future

Well lucky for some

You can develop your body

But your mind is still a slum

The product in the packaging

Of multi-layered glam

150 layers of materials

To cover up a sham

Protecting my planet

Wrap it in plastic

The package is product

Perfected eternal

A crap in a cling wrap

I never met yet a prime minister or president

Who told the truth yet

Swimming in the slurry

Burning in the heat

Wind blown is the weather

I eat what you secrete

Climb the highest derrick

This circus has no prayer

No UFO to save us

And do we really care

Kiss goodbye to the earth, the sun, the moon

It’s easy to deceive a child
