Don't Ask Me

Public Image Limited

What you gonna do - When the river runs dry

Put your drills in the mud - Death up in the sky

Should have saved those bottles -

Should have saved those cans

Shouldn't ought'a listen to the plastic man

No more toilet papet - It's gone just like the trees

Do you like the taste of honey - Isn't it best without the bees

Be careful what you're doing - You're messing up my life

And if all this world's a cake - Then you took too big a slice



What's it all about - They scream and then they shout

Don't ask me - Cause I don't know (I don't know)

What's it all about - They scream and then they shout

Don't blame me - I told you so



Read it in the papers - You hear it in the news

Very few listen - A spew without a view

And is it really worth it - You're choking on remote

I see the red tide coming - But we don't even vote

Infection in the greenhouse - Dizzy in the clouds

Oily as an ocean - Heaven disemboweled

Planning on a future - Well lucky for some

Develop your body - But your mind is still a slum



What's it all about - They scream and then they shout

Don't ask me - Cause I don't know

What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (Well don't ask me)

Don't blame me - I told you so (Middle-age)



The product in the packaging

Of multi-layered glam

150 layers of materials

To cover up a sham

Protecting my planet

Wrap it in plastic

This package is product

Perfected eternal

A crap in a cling wrap

I never met yet a prime minister or president

Who told the truth yet



Swimming in the slurry

Burning in the heat

Wind blown is this weather

I eat what you secrete

I climb this highest derrick

This circus has no prayer

No UFO to save us

And do we really care



What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (Do we really care)

Don't ask me - Cause I don't know

What's it all about
