Lukas & Lexis - We Want You To Get Mad lyrics


ad
I don't have to tell you things are bad
Everybody knows things are bad
It's a depression
Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job
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
And 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 and our food is unfit to eat
And we sit watching our TVs 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 all know things are bad, worse than bad, they're crazy
It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out any more
We sit in the house
And slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller
And all we say is, “Please, at least leave us alone"

Get up now

I want you to get mad

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 not gonna take it anymore
I'm mad as hell, I'm not gonna take it anymore [2x]
I'm not gonna take it anymore
I'm mad as hell [?x]

All I know is that first, you've got to get mad
You've gotta say, "I'm a human being, goddammit, my life has value"
