Lyrics
Everybody
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We got madmen on the left side...madmen on the right
Drugs that weren't here yesterday, drive-by's in the light...
Schools that look like prisons, children packing guns...
Politicians on parole and back again to run...
And it's us against them and them against us
Getting kind of crowded in the back of the bus...
Take your dirty little hatred and find something to feed it
The writing's on the walls I think it's time read it...
Everybody doing what they want...
...Hey!
Everybody
Everybody doing what they want...
...Hey!
Everybody
...Hey!
Everybody...doing what they want...
Everybody
Everybody
It seems a matter of convenience, not a matter of respect
Where'd you lose your conscience, guess it just got up and went...
And you want too much of everything never get your fill
We're living in a time when loving it can kill...
And it's a matter of ego, too much or not enough
Just another story 'bout a childhood that's rough...
You sell your tail to the TV, star for just a day...
Don't you worry--they won't let the facts get in the way...
And everybody doing what they want...
...Hey!
Everybody
Everybody doing what they want...
...Hey!
Everybody
...Hey!
And everybody doing what they want...
...Hey!
Everybody
Everybody doing what they want...
...Hey!
Everybody
...Hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey...everybody
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah...doin' what they want
Hey, hey, hey, hey...everybody, everybody
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah...
Well, you think that someone owes you but I swear to God they don't...
You act like someone chose you but you know they probably won't...
Better get your reservation, get in on the end...
Cause here's the situation--buy a dog, you want a friend...
And everybody doing what they want...
...Hey!
Everybody
Everybody doing what they want...
...Hey!
Everybody
...Hey!
Everybody
Everybody
Doing what they want
