hey, mr politician, what´s going on in your mind
the people are crying out for help and you´re just wasting our time
oh -- a mouthful of rhetoric
all that lip just makes us sick
unbutton your collar, loosen your tie
get it together, stop feeding us lies
get the message, a message from the human race
get the message, our planet is a sacred place
get the message, it´s simple and it´s oh so true
guide us through these troubled times cos we´re depending on you
chlorofluorocarbons -- you know them as cfcs
fifteen years ago you ignored the warning pleas
"there´ll never be a hole in the atmosphere"
that´s what you said, now the hole has spread
and the people are starting to fear
get the message...
elected by the people -- what do you desire
are you an elected official or just for hire
elected by the people -- the people are aware
our quality of life needs repair
too many people sleeping in the streets
too many children with not enough to eat
all that money wasted building a war machine
has made the global economy the worst it´s ever been, so...
get the message...
elected by the people -- what do you desire
