Give The People What They Want Lyrics

Give the people what you know they really want

Give the people what they want

Never what they ask for

Never what they need

They don't really want to need no more

Give em what they want

Give them beating hearts and sweaty palms

Give them right and give them wrong

Give them hope and give them closure

Give them answers no one knows

They won't catch on

Give the people what you know they really want

Give the people a distraction

Give them entertainment

Give them all the tools they need to build a better life and tell them they don't want it

We don't want it

We want children we can't care for

Houses we can't pay for

Jobs we can't stay awake for

Schools that we can't raise for

Laws we can't account for

Who could want more?

Give us what we want

A moment in the sun

Until the light don't come

And it don't come back up

We can't make this right

But we've still got tonight

Give the people what they want

Give the people what you know they really want

Give the people violence

Give the people peace

Give the people silence

Let the people speak

Give them new prescriptions

So they don't have to think

Give them television

So they don't wanna blink

Give them new perspectives

Give them old traditions

Give them all the answers

So they don't have to listen

Give the people what you know they really want

A motherfucking show

Give the people what you know they really want
