Give the People What They Want Songtext
von Moon Walker

Give the people what you know they really want

Give the people what they want
Never what they ask for
Never what they need
They don′t really want to need no more

Give em what they want
Give them beating hearts and sweaty palms
Give them right and give them wrong
Give them hope and give them closure
Give them answers no one knows
They won't catch on

Give the people what you know they really want

Give the people a distraction
Give them entertainment
Give them all the tools they need to build a better life and tell them they don′t want it
We don't want it


We want children we can't care for
Houses we can′t pay for
Jobs we can′t stay awake for
Schools that we can't raise for
Laws we can′t account for
Who could want more?

Give us what we want
A moment in the sun
Until the light don't come
And it don′t come back up

We can't make this right
But we′ve still got tonight
Give the people what they want

Give the people what you know they really want

Give the people violence
Give the people peace
Give the people silence
Let the people speak

Give them new prescriptions
So they don't have to think
Give them television
So they don't wanna blink


Give them new perspectives
Give them old traditions
Give them all the answers
So they don′t have to listen

Give the people what you know they really want
A motherfucking show

Give the people what you know they really want
