These words seem never ending
And I'd change them if I could
Don't want to hear about sadness
Just want to hear something good
But I must break this silence
I've got to do it today
Can't ignore it much longer
But still I hear you say
Oh, no
So I try to close my eyes
To what's happening all around
And try not to think how it feels
When your world is upside down
Why on earth am I moaning?
When it doesn't really affect me
But why should I ignore it?
When still I hear you plead
Oh, no
You won't change a thing
Whatever you sing
With another dole queue song
North and south the great divide
A sorry state of affairs
This is a heartfelt message
From someone who really cares
I hate to see lives wasted
It's not what freedom's about
Let's put our heads together
But still I hear you shout
Oh, no
