Lyrics

[Verse 1]

And so the artist screams

Into an empty cup

He says that you're a soulless bunch

But you could still wake up

[Verse 2]

And the capitalist

Says he's born to be free

He says, you're poor, my friend

But you don't have to be

[Verse 3]

Here's what we know

We don't know what we got

Or if we got it

And what we had

We already forgot it

The race is evidently to the bottom

We don't, we don't, we don't

Know what to say

[Verse 4]

I don't know what to say

[Verse 5]

And so the thumpers preach

Both love and hate

They say, you're naughty filth

But you could still be saved

[Verse 6]

And the people wait

For the bell to ring

They say, we need a song

We need a song to sing

[Verse 7]

Here's what we know

We don't know what we got

Or if we got it

And what we had

We already forgot it

The race is evidently to the bottom

We don't, we don't, we don't

Know what to say

[Verse 8]

Don't know what it was

But we want it back

Like every generation

Will repeat the last

Put a halo on a figurehead or photograph

Resist a little bit

And then become the man

Dreaming of a simpler time

It occurs to me

The past is hypothetical fantasy

And nostalgia just ain't

What it used to be

[Verse 9]

Here's what we know

We don't know what we got

Or if we got it

And what we had

We already forgot it

The race is evidently to the bottom

We don't, we don't, we don't

Know what to say

[Verse 10]

We don't know what we got

Or if we got it

And what we had

We already forgot it

The race is evidently to the bottom

We don't, we don't, we don't

Know what to say

[Verse 11]

Don't know what to say

[Verse 12]

I don't know what to say
