LYRICS:
Monday morning Six AM
You can’t believe Ya have to do it all again
For the next five days You gotta sell your soul
to the same damn people
who send ya the bills that put you into this HOLE
But there Ain’t no use in fighting
You know you have to do … Whatever They Say …
… Whatever They Say …
_____________________________________
The TV tells you … You need to buy these things
It’s the American Way Courtesy of Beijing
Give away your life Pour it down the drain
Like a rat on a wheel
You never get a chance to break that chain
Because there Ain’t no use in fighting
You know you have to do …. Whatever They Say …
… Whatever They Say …
_____________________________________
SOLO:
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE:
_____________________________________
If you follow their rules you end up in debt
Tired, broke and Older is all you’re gonna get
It might just be time that we let them know
If they keep on squeezin’ us things are bound to blow
But if we all stand together
We won't have to do … Whatever They Say …
… Whatever They Say …r

The problems facing humankind
exist because we were designed
to be completely dis-inclined
to think beyond ourself
Our nature causes us to choose
that someone else should always lose
Especially when we take out cues
from God’s book on the shelf
Those people living over there
have what we need and they don’t care
and so we say to them…. Beware
cuz we’ll take it from you now …
Since we first crawled out from the sea
what you call yours, I’ll want for me
I’ll kill you and your family…
… will be harnessed to my plow
CHORUS:
Will we ever grow beyond
morals learned in a slimy pond
Is our evolution really through?
If we look into our children’s eyes
will we see our own demise
or will it show us what we have to do?
The answer’s up to you
You know Money governs in this land
and those who we put in command
have let their greed get out of hand
and it’s time for them to go
They send our children across the sea
to kill or die by their decree
they tell us it’s to keep us free
but we know that’s just for show
If Only Mothers had the power
we’d witness mankind’s finest hour
as they make the corporations cower
and finally end our woes
The problems facing humankind
exist because the mastermind
designed us to be disinclined
To look beyond our nose
CHORUS:
Will we ever grow beyond
morals learned in a slimy pond
Is our evolution really through?
If we look into our children’s eyes
will we see our own demise
or will it show us what we have to do?
The answer’s up to you
