lyrics

Lyrics:

Help the homeless give them money or no let’s take a trip to somewhere sunny. Peoples conscience lasts about as long as shaking my hand shows our friendship. yeah.

Get a job get off the street stop grovelling for dignity at peoples feet. We don't give a shit and we never will but we'll spend enough money to buy some pills.

We still won't learn.

People who care just aim to scare and save themselves by filling a prophet’s empty lair. When we’ve forgotten goodwill, trust and truth and been left with hate filled greed dressed in over sized boots.

We still won't learn.

Won't learn we still won't learn.

Mr. President get off your hands and knees, and oh 'holy' god pull up your trousers please, its no use crying if its your own lying: that message of 'no protection' means people are dying. So angry at us people for what we've become, the faith we're still steeped in with our blinders on.

We still won't learn.
