What About Me (what You Gonna Do About Me) Lyrics

Terry Callier What About Me (what You Gonna Do About Me)

Oh - what you gonna do about me...

You poisoned our sweet waters and chopped down our green
trees
The food you sell my children is the cause of teir
disease
My world is slowly fallin' down and the air's not fit to
breathe
Those of us who care enough must struggle to be free.

Oh - what you gonna do about me.

I worked inside your factories -
I studied in your schools
I fill your penitentaries and your military too
I feel the whole world tremblin' as the word is passed
around
If you stand up for what you believe in
Then be prepared to get shot down.

Oh - what you gonna do about me.

I feel just like a stranger - blamed for things I've
never done
I'm livin' like an outlow - I'm always on the run.

Oh - what you gonna do about me.
