What Did We Do To You To Deserve This?

You forgot to tell the truth, now it's too far away When the auditors add it up in the books will you keep them at bay? You forgot to censor yourself with your limited brain And there's a look upon your face that says you can't take the strain

What's that look upon your face? No, this is not the good old days What did we do to you to deserve this? You're doing everything you can to preserve this

You look out for your mates and yourself and that's natural, I'd say But then you trample over the less well off and downtrodden they stay You forgot to mention the fact that inequality remains And opportunity rarely knocks if your background is viewed with disdain

What's that look upon your face? No, this is not the good old days What did we do to you to deserve this? You're doing everything you can to preserve this Let's all pretend to tell the truth Above all, I hope I've been of use

What's that look upon your face? No, this is not the good old days What did we do to you to deserve this? You're doing everything in your power to preserve this Let's all pretend to tell the truth Above all, well I hope I've been of use
