Please stop-----We can't do that
Why not?-----We've done the math
They need air-----There's lots of time
You don't care-----My hands are tied
Time's up-----You can't say that
Why not?-----You move too fast
You won't change-----Why can't you see, it's part of our history

On the streets of gold
Where everybody has too much money
On these streets of gold
You've always got something to hide

No more-----We know we should
Why war?-----The money's good
It must stop-----We'll find a way
You might not-----What can I say?
The reason-----Religion's one
You teach them-----When they are young
They won't change-----Why can't you see, that's how it has always been

[repeat chorus]

You say we need some changes
Why would we do that?

Please stop-----We can't do that
Why not?-----We've done the math
You won't change-----Why can't you see, it's part of our history

[repeat chorus]
