lyrics

They wrote nation of the free in the court of the unjust
the police were unlawful, the government corrupt
the ministers were liars, the leadership followed
the bankers were thieves, the church immoral

Opinion was news, hearsay the fact
poisoning the view the point always lax
amusement was cheap, the broadcasters pimps
the function narcotic, the viewers made chimps

And you wonder why we drink
And you wonder why we smoke
And you wonder why we have no care in this land of empty hope

Aspiration made shallow, commerce psychotic
education dumb, religion despotic
honours were bought, dignity sold
money cheapens all cos business is cold

The citizens duped, no representation
into the chaos of organisation
the few ridiculed for realisation
they called this control civilisation

And you wonder why we drink
And you wonder why we smoke
And you wonder why we have no care in this land of empty hope

All consuming trashcan of distinction
all destroying face of extinction
all shouting nothing from a human malaise
our cheerleaders for the end of days

And you wonder why we drink
And you wonder why we smoke
And you wonder why we have no care in this land of empty hope
