Текст песни
Were you born without a thought or cause, yet alone or care?
I know damn well that it's hard to sell an interest in
A book or class, the mess we're in
I wanna know how we got here
How the hell have we got here?
Oh, someone just give us hope
Rescue us, rescue us
From the kids in their homes
Who don't speak to us, they just laugh at us
Saying, "Why bother learnin'?
It just gets you nowhere"
Or sleep through schoolin'
The books, they weren't worth readin'
Why bother listenin'
When it's lies repeated?
This is the age of no feelin'
All we're tryin' to do is make some sense of a TV set
A face to respect, albeit hardly dressed
And only for the modern time, I'll have to say
What the public wants is what it gets
What it wants is what it will get
Oh, someone just give us hope
Rescue us, rescue us
From the kids in their homes
Who don't speak to us, they just laugh at us
Saying, "Why bother learnin'?
It just gets you nowhere"
Or sleep through schoolin'
'Cause the books, they weren't worth readin'
Yeah, why bother votin'
When you know they're cheatin'?
This is the age of no feelin'
Oh, why bother learnin'?
Yeah, why bother readin'?
Well, then why bother speakin'?
Yeah, why bother breathin'?
Yeah, why bother?
