Hard Essence - No Rescue lyrics

I want you to get mad [2x]

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
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
I don't want you to protest, I don't want you to riot
I don't want you to write to your congressman
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 (life [?x])
(God damn it)

My life (life [?x])

My life (life [?x])
(God damn it)

My life (life [?x])

I'm a human being
God damn it!
