You and me, girl, we’ll fight it out against the world If she believes that, she’ll believe everything she’s told I’ll never leave you, not till the mountains turn to dust If he believes that, he’s got a little too much trust
She’s nothing to him He’s nothing to her And both of them are less than that to me They’ve both been had A lie behind the smile Perjuring to cultivate a dream
Businessmen and workers help each other make their way If you believe that, just look around and count your pay The government will help you, protect the old and feed the poor You might believe that, till the police are at your door You’re nothing to them They’re nothing to you And both of you are less than that to me The skull and the badge Are the lie behind the smile Used against the powerless and weak
I’m a hero, I’m the spokesman for the crowd My only claim to fame is a machine that makes me loud Where am I leading you, why can’t you get there on your own If you believe in me, someday I’ll leave you all alone
I’m nothing to you You’re nothing to me And less than nothing’s what I want to be Confusion and noise I’m sick behind my smile Sick of every face that I see I’m sick of every face that I see I’m sick of every face that I see
