Lyrics
Some cure for some disease is lying on a leaf in a great big forest
And it's comin' down
If a cure falls in the woods and there's no one there to hear it
Does it make a sound
If we don't give a damn,
We'll be damned
If we don't give a damn
If we don't give a damn,
We'll be damned
If we don't give a damn
And the roar we believe is a lion,
Can go out like a lamb
If we don't give a damn
There's a guy with the key to peace in a foreign prison
Sitting in an iron chair
When the guy at the top is afraid of the low man's wisdom
He'll deny it was ever there. CHORUS:
Now the headlines shout that a star moved out on his wife again
And the sports page reads that a legend needs to retire
The whole world could be on fire
And it would only be on page ten,
And never appear again
There's a kid in a slum
With his thumb on the TV clicker
Killing time that he cant afford
Cut the arts, cut the schools cut the rules and the mess gets thicker
What will those eyes record? CHORUS:
