The Final Word Lyrics

Why don't you find a worthwhile cause
To channel your energies?
Like finding a solution
To starvation and diseaseI know that you're concerned
About your First Amendment rights
But don't you burn our flag to make
Your point, that's just not rightIf you think you're better off
In a different country
Why don't you pack your bags right now?
Here's your ticket, it's on me, it's on meI've been around this whole wide world
And found no better place
And no one's gonna start a fire
In my homeland's faceWe have a tendency
To take our freedom for granted
We have some problems, yes I know
Look at the seed you plantedI know that you're aching to be heard
What gives you the famous final word?
To think that your opinion is preferred

What gives you the famous final word?What other country do you know
That pays you without work?
When you need some money
See your welfare officerThere's a lot of other things
That you could take a stand about
So you and all your activists
Can take the next train outI know that you're aching to be heard
What gives you the famous final word?
To think that your opinion is preferred
What gives you the famous final word?Freedom of speech out of hand
Demonstration in the land
If you complain a little more
What rights that you have left
Go flying out the doorWhy don't you find a worthwhile cause
To channel your energies?
Like finding a solution
To starvation and diseaseWith all the problems in this world
That are facing us today
We need a concentrated push
Or in the long run, we'll all payI know that you're aching to be heard
What gives you the famous final word?
To think that your opinion is preferred
What gives you the famous final word?
