Junk food from the corner store
Eviction notice on my door
Yoongotta worriboutta boy like me
Yoongotta worriboutta boy like me
And somewhere on a foreign shore
We're bombing babies, call it war
Yoongotta worriboutta boy like me
Yoongotta worriboutta boy like me
An easy loan, a plastic car
The trading floor's an abattoir
Yoongotta worriboutta boy like me
Yoongotta worriboutta boy like me
A beat cop and a muzzle flash
Another name you'll read right past
Yoongotta worriboutta boy like me
Yoongotta worriboutta boy like me
You think you've got the time
To make this mess all right
But I won't toe your line
Cause it's not for me
Agent orange and DDT
COINTEL and Wounded Knee
Yoongotta worriboutta girl like me
Yoongotta worriboutta girl like me
The Bay of Pigs and World War III
Bandung, Stonewall, Combahee
Yoongotta worriboutta girl like me
Yoongotta worriboutta girl like me
Raytheon and ol' Ma Bell
The draft board and the oil cartel
Yoongotta worriboutta girl like me
Yoongotta worriboutta girl like me
You put the planet up for sale
And made this world a living hell
Yoongotta worriboutta girl like me
Yoongotta worriboutta girl like me
You think you've got the time
To build your grand design
But I won't work your line
Cause it's not for me
You talk about your holy ways
Your checkbook knows the gods you praise
Yoongotta worriboutta boy like me
Yoongotta worribout the girl I'll be
The chains will break, the cage will fail
You've got a tiger by the tail
Maybe you should worribout the girls like me
Maybe you should worribout the boys like me
You think you've got the time
To build your grand design
But I won't hold your line
Cause it's not for me
You think you've got some time
You don't and that's alright
But I won't change your mind
Cause it's not for me
