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 going to 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]

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?

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]

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?
