well it might be rude to scream
but I get so pissed
all your space gets s**ed away
becomes your junk yard mess
and the country is shrinking
everyone's breeding
like rats in a cage
we're strangled and scared
we're strangled and scared
we're strangled
could we just take care of each other?
could we just take care?
could we just take care of each other?
could we just take care?
could we see beyond this pasture
of childhood rage and minimum wage
could we see beyond this pasture
your country was built on slaves
could we just take care of each other?
could we just take care?
could we just take care of each other?
could we just take care?
could we just take care of each other?
could we just take care?
could we just take care of each other?
could we just take care?
driving down and out of Chicago
I look for the highway
and i'm looking around
and oh my goddess!
oh my goddess what have we done
oh my goddess what have we done
past the j**el osco past the bus
spewing black air all over this black neighbourhood
mainly it's bars and fast food fast fast food
cheap (sheep?) poison
oh my goddess what have we done
oh my goddess what have we done
what have my fathers done to my brothers
what have our leaders lead us in to
what have we chosen, fast asleep and racists baths
to keep people powerless polluted and poor
scrubbed clean of their god
my goddess goodness where are we now
oh my goddess what have we done
oh my goddess goodness where are we now
could we just take care of each other
could we just take care
could we just take care of each other
could we just take care
well i bang down your billboards
s** nurish from the rusty
send those streams to wash it clean
make everything wet and lusty
and the oc*ntry is shrinking
and everyone's breeding
like rats in a cage
we're strangled and scared
we're strangled and scared
we're strangled
i want the loggers to be cast away
i want to the let the mantis' prey
i wanna i wanna
i want the loggers to be cast away
i want to the let the mantis' prey
i want the loggers to be cast away
i just wanna play
could we just take care of each other
could we just take care
could we just take care of each other
could we just take care
could we just take care of each other
could we just take care
could we just take care of each other
could we just take care
don't sell me your junkward
don't package my d**h
i need the earth for my feet
and the wind for my breath
