The Final Word

Why don't you find a worthwhile cause to channel your energies? Like finding a solution to starvation and disease I 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 right If 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 I've been around this whole wide world and found no better place And no one's gonna start a fire in my homeland's face We have a tendency to take our freedom for granted We have some problems, yes I know Look at the seed you've planted [Chorus] I 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 officer There's a lot of other things that you could take a stand about So you and your activists can take the next train out [Chorus] Freedom of speech out of hand Demonstrations in the land If you complain a little more What rights that you have left Go flying out the door [Solo] Why don't you find a worthwhile cause to channel your energies? Like finding a solution to starvation and disease With all the problems in this world that are facing us today We need a concentrated push or in the long run we'll all pay [Chorus]
