Why don't you find a worthwhile cause to channel your energies?

Like finding a solution to starvation and disease

I know that you're concerned about your First Ammendment rights

But don't you burn our flag to make your point, that's just not right

If you think you're better off in a different country

Why don't you pack your bags right now

Here's your ticket

It's on me



I've been around this whole wide world and found no better place

And no one's gonna start a fire in my homeland's face

We have a tendency to take our freedom for granted

We have some problems, yes I know

Look at the seed you've planted



I know that you're aching to be heard

What gives you the famous final word?

To think that your opinion is preferred

What gives you the famous final word?



What other country do you know that pays you without work?

When you need some money, see your welfare officer

There's a lot of other things that you could take a stand about

So you and your activists can take the next train out



I know that you're aching to be heard

What gives you the famous final word?

To think that your opinion is preferred

What gives you the famous final word?



Freedom of speech out of hand

Demonstations in the land

If you complain a little more

What rights you have left

Go flying out the door



Why don't you find a worthwhile cause to channel your energies?

Like finding a solution to starvation and disease

With all the problems in this world that are facing us today

We need a concentrated push or in the long run we'll all pay
