Before LA 2.0

Quicksilver Messenger Service:

You poisoned my sweet water.

You cut down my green trees.

The food you fed my children

Was the cause of their disease.

My world is slowly fallin' down.

And the air’s not good to breathe.

And those of us who care enough,

We have to do something.

What you gonna do about me?

Your newspapers,

They just put you on.

They never tell you

The whole story.

They just put your

Young ideas down.

I was wonderin' could this be the end

Of your pride and glory?

What you gonna do about me?

I work in your factories.

I study in your schools.

I fill your penitentiaries.

And your military too!

And I feel the future trembling,

As the word is passed around,

If you stand up for what you do believe,

Be prepared to be shot down.

What you gonna do about me?

I feel like a stranger

In the land where I was born.

And I live like an outlaw,

An' I'm always on the run.

An I'm always getting busted,

And I got to take a stand.

I believe the revolution

Must be mighty close at hand.

What you gonna do about me?

I smoke marijuana.

But I can't get behind your wars.

And most of what I do believe

Is against most of your laws.

I'm a fugitive from injustice,

But I'm goin' to be free

Cause your rules and regulations

They don't do the thing for me.

What you gonna do about me?

And I feel like a stranger,

In the land where I was born.

And I live just like an outlaw,

An' I'm always on the run.
