Lyrics

Give A Damn

we’re sittin’ in the middle, the side of the road
we’re countin’ up the pesos, measurin’ the load
lookin’ for a way, waitin’ for tomorrow
takin’ what we can and keepin’ what we borrow

if we cared, if we dared
if we cared, we might even give a damn

we’re not gonna take it anymore
gonna stand on up, maybe for sure
when the watermelon chills we’ll get on the bus
just flip ‘em the bird, oh what a rush

if we cared, if we dared
if we cared, we might even give a damn

the nightly news and hypocrisy
distorted views we hear and see
political dollars, clerical collars
everyone knows yet nobody hollers

if we cared, if we dared
if we cared, we might even give a damn

if we cared, if we dared
if we cared, if we dared
if we cared, we might even give a damn
