Naked Earth Get The Message
Hey, Mr Politician, what's going on in your mind The people are crying out for help and you're just wasting our time Oh -- a mouthful of rhetoric All that lip just makes us sick Unbutton your collar, loosen your tie Get it together, stop feeding us lies Get the message, a message from the human race Get the message, our planet is a sacred place Get the message, it's simple and it's oh so true Guide us through these troubled times cos we're depending on you Chlorofluorocarbons -- you know them as CFCs Fifteen years ago you ignored the warning pleas "There'll never be a hole in the atmosphere" That's what you said, now the hole has spread And the people are starting to fear Get the message... Elected by the people -- what do you desire Are you an elected official or just for hire Elected by the people -- the people are aware Our quality of life needs repair Too many people sleeping in the streets Too many children with not enough to eat All that money wasted building a war machine Has made the global economy the worst it's ever been, so... Get the message... Elected by the people -- what do you desire Are you an elected official or just for hire Elected by the people -- the people are aware Our quality of life needs repair Hey, Mr Politician, what's going on in your mind The people are crying out for help and you're just wasting our time Oh -- a mouthful of rhetoric All that lip just makes us sick Unbutton your collar, loosen your tie Get it together or we're all gonna die Get the message...
