I give a hoot, but I still pollute

I don't know what's the matter with me

I won't kill, but I think I'd shoot

if it meant whether or not I'd be free

I give a hoot, but I still pollute

I don't know what's the matter with me

I won't kill, but I think I'd shoot

if it meant whether or not I'd be free

simulated sympathy in a world full of pain

it's each for his own if there's something to gain

I've got my own problems, it's hard to care

there's just more death than I can bear

so I fly my flag at half mast

big, black clouds hanging over me

my days are always overcast

burnt out buildings return my stare

but I must hang on though the sea is dead

I must hold on someone said

I must go on though young men die

I must push on but I can't remember why

I give a hoot, but I still pollute

I don't know what's the matter with me

I won't kill, but I think I'd shoot

if it meant whether or not I'd be free

I give a hoot, but I still pollute

I don't know what's the matter with me

I won't kill, but I think I'd shoot

if it meant whether or not I'd be free

simulated sympathy in a world full of pain

it's each for his own if there's something to gain

I've got my own problems, it's hard to care

there's just more death than I can bear

so I fly my flag at half mast

big, black clouds hanging over me

my days are always overcast

burnt out buildings return my stare

but I must hang on though the sea is dead

I must hold on someone said

I must go on though young men die

I must push on but I can't remember why
