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.
I saw your rantin' on TV today
I heard you tell me to reload
You got a lot of nerve to talk that way
Someone unplug the microphone
I'm tired of all the fighting
Cynicism and back-biting
Can't even hear myself think
You pour the Kool-Aid and then we drink
So much noise, so much chatter
Does the truth even matter?
Say, say what you want to
(Even though you never mean it)
Say, say what you want to
(Ain't got time to be wastin' time)
Say, say what you want to
(We had a chance and now we're gonna blow it)
Say, say what you want to
(If this is America, you'd never know it)
Ignorance is patriotic
Reason is idiotic
Winds of change keep on blowin'
If this is America, you'd never know it
So much noise, so much chatter
Does the truth even matter?
Say, say what you want to
(Even though you never mean it)
Say, say what you want to
(Ain't got time to be wastin' time)
Say, say what you want to
(We had a chance, now we're gonna blow it)
Say, say what you want to
(If this is America, you'd never know it)
All you little ones with open hearts
Don't let hatred tear your world apart
And if you wonder who is wrong or who is right
Better go ask God to shine some light
Earthquakes and jihad Jane
Talkin' heads and hate campaigns
If aliens should land today
Who would be more afraid, us or them?
Say, say what you want to
(Even though you never mean it)
Say, say what you want to
(Ain't got time to be wastin' time)
Say, say what you want to
(We had a chance, now we're gonna blow it)
Say, say what you want to
(If this is America, you'd never know it)
Say, say what you want to
(You gotta say it, say)
Say, say what you want to
(Whatever's on your mind)
Say, say what you want to
(Give me a microphone, baby)
Say, say what you want to
(All the things I want to say)
Say, say what you want to
Say, say what you want to
Say, say what you want to
Say, say what you want to
(Are you lovers, are you haters?)
Say, say what you want to
(Can someone say, yeah?)
Say, say what you want to
Say, say what you want to
