Would you please take me away from this place I cannot bear to see the look upon your faces And if there is some kind of god do you think he's pleased When he looks down on us I wonder what he sees Do you think he'd think the things we do are waste of time Maybe he'd think that we are getting on just fine Do you think he's skint or financially secure And come election time I wonder who he'd vote for
Ever since he can remember people have died in his good name Long before that September Long before hijacking planes He's lost the will he can't decide He doesn't know who's right or wrong But there's one thing that he's sure of this has been going on too long
Do you think he'd drive in his car without insurance Now is he interesting or do you think he'd bore us Do you think his favourite type of human is Caucasian Do you reckon he's ever been done for tax evasion Do you think he's any good at remembering people's names Do you think he's ever taken smack or cocaine I don't imagine he's ever been suicidal His favourite band is Creedence Clearwater Revival
Ever since he can remember people have died in his good name Long before that September Long before hijacking planes He's lost the will he can't decide He doesn't know who's right or wrong But there's one thing that he's sure of this has been going on too long
