Don't Ask Me

What you gonna do - When the river runs dry Put your drills in the mud - Death up in the sky Should have saved those bottles - Should have saved those cans Shouldn't ought'a listen to the plastic man No more toilet papet - It's gone just like the trees Do you like the taste of honey - Isn't it best without the bees Be careful what you're doing - You're messing up my life And if all this world's a cake - Then you took too big a slice What's it all about - They scream and then they shout Don't ask me - Cause I don't know (I don't know) What's it all about - They scream and then they shout Don't blame me - I told you so Read it in the papers - You hear it in the news Very few listen - A spew without a view And is it really worth it - You're choking on remote I see the red tide coming - But we don't even vote Infection in the greenhouse - Dizzy in the clouds Oily as an ocean - Heaven disemboweled Planning on a future - Well lucky for some Develop your body - But your mind is still a slum What's it all about - They scream and then they shout Don't ask me - Cause I don't know What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (Well don't ask me) Don't blame me - I told you so (Middle-age) The product in the packaging Of multi-layered glam 150 layers of materials To cover up a sham Protecting my planet Wrap it in plastic This package is product Perfected eternal A crap in a cling wrap I never met yet a prime minister or president Who told the truth yet Swimming in the slurry Burning in the heat Wind blown is this weather I eat what you secrete I climb this highest derrick This circus has no prayer No UFO to save us And do we really care What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (Do we really care) Don't ask me - Cause I don't know What's it all about - They scream and then they shout Don't blame me - I told you so What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (No UFO to save us) Don't ask me - Cause I don't know What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (No fun, no religion) Don't blame me - I told you so What's it all about - They scream and then they shout Don't ask me - Cause I don't know What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (Climb this highest derrick) Don't blame me - I told you so Kiss goodbye to the Earth, the sun, the moon It's easy to decieve a child. --- Don't Ask Me - Public Image Ltd.
