They Never Cared About Us(That's Why You're Gone)
Folder:
Nessa like yesterday,
i remember everything
your face sunken, your hair
matted and so short
you waved to me,
when your dad said i was there
in intensive care,
but they could care less
the hospital chairman's out on the golf course
and the pharmasuticals prepare gifts for the doctors
the doctors and nurses loaded needles like ammo
or quarters into a slot machine they knew was hitting
seven seven seven
or is it six six six
cause they got the money
for your life
i wonder what they got with it
what a killer ride
people get their arms up in the air every day
in praise
for this leader and that one
for this institution
for this way of life
with gun point instructions inside
all i have to say is
they never really cared about us
that's why you're gone
all i have left t'say is
they never really cared about us
that's why you're gone
all this talk of health care,
politicians
they're promising
that we can all have this
(forced down our throat)
the food and drug chairman's another puppet
as the big companies prepare scripts for their profits
the factories children load machines with chemicals
for quarters into a box which we open from commercials
wholesome wholesome wholesome
or is it sick sick sick
cause they got the money
for your life
i wonder what they got with it
what a killer ride
people get their arms up in the air every day
in praise
for this leader and that one
for this institution
for this way of life
with gun point instructions inside
all i have to say is
they never really cared about us
that's why you're gone
all i have left t'say is
they never really cared about us
that's why you're gone
and i can cry all i want
(almost two years now)
you're not gonna come back from death
(world's no better now)
and they can kill all they want
(well there's two cheers now)
it's legal with a doctorate or badge
(world's all better now)
or enough money to buy a small country
eh, who is that sentence kidding?
they've already bought this whole nation
this continent,..this planet
but not me,..and you're free...
and all i have to say is..
when thinking of all the wars where bombs missed the mansions all i have to say is..
when thinking of all the diamonds on rappers and african starvation..
when thinking of all the settlers and boundaries, the ghettos and reservations..
when thinking of all the liberty we lack inside of us
whether we've had it taken or take it
or far too often it both pending our standing position
no live and let live, this collectivist nightmare
well, when thinking of you and everyone and everything
all i have to say is
all i have to say is
they never really cared about us
that's why you're gone
all i have left t'say is
they never really cared about us
that's why you're gone
all i have left's to say this
they never really cared about us
that's why you're gone
no,..they never cared about us
that's why you're gone
i miss you so much
