Lyrics
Do As I Say
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.
When heads of state get together
To pass the pipe of peace around
WAR - they gotta keep the numbers down
Every double standard
They nail into the vanguard
And always let you down
Raise it to the ground
Do as I say not as I do you'd better
Do as I say
They're talking to you
Their smiler they keep in high profile
For (the) paparazzi act docile
NO - the lessons we will never learn
On television they stand out
To lead the way in the hands out
Cause there's money to be found
Watch them spill it on the ground
Do as I say not as I do
Do as I say not as I do
Armageddon needs action
To stop the chain of reactions
OH - but business wheels keep turning round
They're headed out in a one®way street
But still the profits taste oh so sweet
(too) many mouths to feed
Just let the suckers bleed
Hear them say
Do as I say not as I do you'd better
Do as I say not as I do
Do as I say not as I do
Do as I say not as I do
This means you!
