There's a man with a briefcase, and fire in his eye,
He doesn't know one day his children will die,
from the mess that he made tryin to get a little green,
but I guess that's what you get, when you live for the machine,
so he'll harvest our land, and feed us his lies,
its amazing how many people fail to question why,
and he'll poison the water till the river runs dry,
everyone is thirsty, so nobody can cry, and I say,
"Take it easy for tonight,
In the morning we must fight,
some may live and some may die,
but we'll all fall, standing for what's right.
for whats right
for whats right
for whats right"
Well the man gets his food from the drive through line,
as he stares at the planes leaving trails in the sky,
and he'll use a napkin to wipe off his cheek,
if he runs out of paper, he'll just cut down more trees,
So he throws his garbage in a can by the street,
Its amazing how many things he has and doesn't need,
Then they take his trash to a land he can't see,
but the people living there have children that can barely breathe, and I say,
"Take it easy for tonight,
In the morning we must fight,
some may live and some may die,
but we'll all fall, standing for what's right.
for whats right
for whats right
for whats right"
The man takes a pill for the pain in his chest,
He listens to the doctor, cause the doctor knows best,
and watches his son as he struggles to read,
but I guess that's what you get when he's raised by the TV,
you can read the books and pay all the fees,
but Public School will never ever teach you how to think,
like when you gripe about the price of gasoline,
Then take a bite from apple that came from over seas, and I say,
"Take it easy for tonight,
In the morning we must fight,
some may live and some may die,
but we'll all fall, standing for what's right.
