Roll up - look out!
The catcher in the rye fried the Eggman
S.O.B. shot the Walrus
Shut in and shut out
It makes you stop and wonder what it's all about
How a gunman can get so close to his subjects
And for all his efforts, a minute on TV
Took away our music - it makes no sense to me
Why can't they see what they do to us
We had hope and then they took it all away
Why can't they see what they do to us?
Gave us ghosts and left us with reality - killer
Aaron listened to all the wrong people
And all their agents - Yeah, even the public
Within not without - Somebody should've told him what it's all about
He took it serious - welcome to the jungle
Became an actor - to be or not to be
And the drug companies posted their profitability
Why can't they see what they do to us?
We had hope and then they took it all away
Why can't they see what they do to us?
Gave us ghosts and left us with reality - killer
And for all their efforts the system sets 'em free
One stop, Supreme Court, off on a technicality
Walks in then walks out
Criminals make you wanna scream and shout
Never ending - is there any justice?
They're never gonna see what they do to you and me
They're not even worth a penny our taxes
Time to sharpen up the axes
Why can't they see what they do to us
We had hope and then they took it all away
Why can't they see what they do to us
Gave us ghosts and left us with reality - killer
Why can't they see what they do to us, so long
Goodbye killer
