Lyrics
Haven't you heard?
The things that you want are absurd
And the words that you're using are wrong
Just play along!
You know our word is your bond
And we want you to want what we want
The roads are expanding, survival's demanding
We stop what we're doing, we keep manufacturing
Plastics for oceans we're filling with oil
Drilled from the grounds that were once fertile soil
We keep fighting over our laws and our borders and
Meanwhile the water just keeps boiling over
The steam's building up and it's all gonna' blow
What will our words mean when we have no home?
But haven't you heard?
The things that you want are absurd
And the words that you're using are wrong
Just play along!
You know our word is your bond
And we want you to want what we want
Children are dying to keep on supplying us
Bull shit we don't need, it's only appeasing a
Loneliness we could completely avoid
If we weren't so busy filling a void
And so many teachers tried so hard to reach us
It's too hard to heed anything they beseech us and
Even old Jesus rolls 'round in his grave
'Cause we've got the freedom to go our own way!
And haven't you heard?
The things that you want are absurd
And the words that you're using are wrong
Just play along!
You know our word is your bond
And we want you to want what we want
The greatest thing
Since The Great Dying
We're marginalizing and mass-criticizing
It's so hypnotizing, while comp'nies are sizing up
How they'll repackage and sell it to us
And we'll wait with bated breath to eat it up
And all of our voices blend in with the noises of
All of the vitriole, all of the poison
I just want to love you, you're my fellow man!
Please look me in the eye
Please say you understand
But haven't I heard?
The things that I want are absurd
And the words that I'm using are wrong
Just play along
I know your word is my bond
But I want you to want what I want
Haven't you heard?
The things that you want are absurd
And the words that you're using are wrong
Just play along!
You know our word is your bond
And we want you to want what we want
Haven't you heard?
The things that you want are absurd
And the words that you're using are wrong
Just play along!
You know our word is your bond
And we want you to want what we want
We want you to want what we want
