What have I done?

What have I done? From the arrogant World War 2 death camp paymaster To every twentieth century US involved war disaster McDonald laid the groundwork back in nineteen forty-seven Chomsky pointed at the intellectuals' sending men to Heaven Use your words carefully, they’re as deadly as a loaded gun Take down those phony lies, quit asking what have I done? Who’s supposed tell the average person on the street That we’re the ones that really suffer from inflicting defeat Sit silent, play dumb, act like you think everything’s okay The brightest minds in the world have nothing else to say Unless it benefits them, c’mon I’m looking out for number one! The weeping, finger wagging, soulful pleading what have I done? We’re getting warmer every winter in the town where I live Drilling and fracking the planet to pieces, somethings got to give Ice shelf’s are melting, floating into the sea, watch it rise As coastal areas flood, see the looks of astonishment and surprise From the local politicians to the guy riding air force one Hear them making excuses to the camera saying what have I done?
