What It's Like

You follow blindly without any thought... You'll never know, never know, what it's like To be righteous and know you can't be bought You'll never know, never know, what it's like They want you to fall in line, turn off your mind Never wonder about the number or the poverty line Just keep on trying and grinding, working every day Forty hours this week: making pennies for pay Big Brother gathers the wealth, think for yourself Why is it too much to ask to pay fair wages for help? And it's crazy to me, that one in three children go hungry In NYC, While those crooks on Wall Street tend to run free You follow blindly without any thought... You'll never know, never know, what it's like To be righteous and know you can't be bought You'll never know, never know, what it's like I want you to go outside, open your eyes wide Help your brother and your sisters to converge this great divide Always question. Invest in people and I'm betting That they won't disappoint. Be careful who you appoint We the people surely have a need to unite Now more than ever, we need to use our voice: it's our right Keep yourself clever: it's the only way to get by in life Now and forever: I'll speak out loud against human plight I ask you kindly: make a difference in this endless fight? Don't follow blindly, the passerby guilty upon sight Don't let those slimy politicians go and fog up your sight Stand up for human rights if you care for all life You follow blindly without any thought... You'll never know, never know, what it's like To be righteous and know you can't be bought You'll never know, never know, what it's like
