Lyrics

You've got to say, "I'm a human being, God damn it!"
I don't have to tell you things are bad
Everybody knows things are bad
The dollar buys a nickel's worth
Banks are going bust
Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter
Punks are running wild in the street
And there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do
And there's no end to it
We know the air is unfit to breathe
Our food is unfit to eat
We sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster
Tells us that today we had fifteen homicides
And sixty-three violent crimes
As if that's the way it's supposed to be
We know things are bad, worse than bad
They're crazy
It's like everything everywhere is going crazy
So we don't go out anymore
We sit in the house and slowly the world we're living in
Is getting smaller
And all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living room
Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radio
And I won't say anything, just leave us alone"
Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone
I want you to get mad
I don't want you to protest, I don't want you to riot
I don't want you to write to your congressmen
Because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write
I don't know what to do about the depression
And the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street
All I know is that first you've got to get mad
You've got to say, "I'm a human being, God damn it!"
My life has value!
My life has value!
My life has value!
My life has value!
I don't have to tell you things are bad
Everybody knows things are bad
The dollar buys a nickel's worth
Banks are going bust
Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter
Punks are running wild in the street
And there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do
And there's no end to it
We know the air is unfit to breathe
Our food is unfit to eat
We sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster
Tells us that today we had fifteen homicides
And sixty-three violent crimes
As if that's the way it's supposed to be
We know things are bad, worse than bad
They're crazy
It's like everything everywhere is going crazy
So we don't go out anymore
We sit in the house and slowly the world we're living in
Is getting smaller
And all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living room
Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radio
And I won't say anything, just leave us alone"
My life has value!
