They Don't Know What They Got Video (MV)

I got my radio on, I'm cruisin' down the highway
Yeah I'm free as the wind today
And I hear song after song whinin' and complainin'
'Bout life in the USA
They don't know what they got

Now I'm not one of those guys who says love it or leave it
Makin' it better is my objective
But take a look at the world and hey don't you believe
That what we need is a little perspective
They don't know what they got
Let's take a little snapshot

Focus, dictators oppressing people yearning to be free
Women tremble 'neath their veils no hope or opportunity
An entire continent is being destroyed by HIV
It's live on your TV

Children begging on the street or in a sweatshop factory
Diseases, starvation and horrific poverty
People kill themselves to get here
Leave their home and family
And you tell me you aint't got no DVD

I say you tell me you ain't got no DVD
It costs too much to drive your SUV
It takes too long to log on your PC

Now some folks have said I need political correction
But you won't hear a guilty plea
'Cause while we ain't yet achieved societal perfection
I can't ignore what I see

That they don't know a good thing
Some folks don't know a good thing when they got it
You know it's easy to sing
You know it's easy to sing and to knock it
They don't know what they got
Some folks'll take it for granted and abuse it
The haves think they have not
It never hits 'em until they lose it
They don't know what they got
People don't know what they got
They don't know what they got
