Esox - The World We Live In (Mcore Cut) lyrics

I want you to get up now

I want you to get mad

You've got to get mad

We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat
We sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us
That today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes
As if that's the way it's supposed to be
We know things are bad - worse than bad
They're crazy
Just like everything everywhere is going crazy
So we don't go out anymore
We sit in the house
And slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller
And all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms
Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials
And I won't say anything
Just leave us alone'
Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone

I want you to get mad!

So, I want you to get up now
I want all of you to get up out of your chairs
I want you to get up right now, and go to the window
Open it, and stick your head out, and yell
'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!'

I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!

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, goddamit! My life has value!'

So, I want you to get up now
I want all of you to get up out of your chairs
I want you to get up right now, and go to the window
Open it, and stick your head out, and yell
'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!'

I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore! [?x]
