What About Me?
(Released December of 1970)

You poisoned my
sweet water.
You cut down my green trees.
The food you fed my
children
Was the cause of their disease.

My world is
slowly fallin' down
And the air's not good to breathe.

And those
of us who care enough,
We have to do something.......

(Chorus)
Oh.......oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh.......oh
What you gonna do about me?

Your newspapers,
They just put
you on.
They never tell you
The whole story.

They
just put your
Young ideas down.
I was wonderin' could this be the
end
Of your pride and glory?

(Chorus)

I work
in your factory.
I study in your schools.
I fill your
penitentiaries.
And your military too!

And I feel the
future trembling,
As the word is passed around.
"If you stand up
for what you do believe,
Be prepared to be shot down."

(Chorus)

And I feel like a stranger
In the land where I
was born
And I live like an outlaw.
An' I'm always on the
run..........................

An Im always getting busted
And I got to take a stand........
I believe the revolution
Must be mighty close at hand.......................

(Chorus)


I smoke marijuana
But I cant get behind your wars.
And most of what I do believe
Is against most of your laws

I'm a fugitive from injustice
But I'm goin' to be free.
Cause
your rules and regulations
They dont do the thing for me

(Chorus)

And I feel like a stranger
In the land where I
was born
And I live just like an outlaw.
An' I'm always on the
run.



(Chorus)
Oh.......oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh.......oh
What you gonna do about me?

and this has to do with???

i think there's a verse missing

check it again

there ya go now ya got it

cool....

i had to find a different source...

I like another song by Quicksilver Messenger Service.

It's called 'Pride of Man'.

Turn around, go back down,
back the way you came,
Can't you see that flash of fire
ten times brighter than the day?
And behold a mighty city broken in the dust again,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

Turn around, go back down,
back the way you came,
Babylon is laid to waste, Egypt's buried in her shame,
The mighty men are all beaten down, their kings are fallen
in the ways,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

Turn around, go back down,
back the way you came,
Terror is on every side, lo our leaders are dismayed.
For those who place their faith in fire,
their faith in fire shall be repaid,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

Turn around, go back down,
back the way you came,
And shout a warning unto the nation that
the sword of God is raised.
Yes, Babylon, that mighty city,
rich in treasures, wide in fame,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

The meek shall cause your tower to fall,
make of you a pyre of flame,
Oh you who dwell on many waters,
rich in treasures, wide in fame.
you bow unto your God of gold,
your pride of might shall be a shame,
For only God can lead His people back unto the Earth again.

Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
A Holy mountain be restored,
and mercy on that people, that people
