"What About Me?" lyrics - HOLLY NEAR

HOLLY NEAR
"What About Me?"
(Jesse Farrow)

You poisoned my sweet water
You cut down my green trees
The food you feed my children
Is the 'cause of their ill disease

The world is slowly falling down
The air is not fit to breathe
And yet you seem to think
That you can keep doing as you please

Oh, what you gonna do about me?
Oh, what you gonna do about me?

We work in your factories
We study in your schools
Fill the penitentiaries and the military too

I can feel the future trembling
As the word gets passed around
There are more of us than we know
If we can find our common ground
And they know that or they would not be
Trying to shut us down

Oh, what you gonna do about me?
Oh, what you gonna do about me?
Oh, what you gonna do about me?
Oh, what you gonna do about me?

The world falls into greedy hands
When we the people fall asleep
This is not new, each generation
Wakes to make the leap

But this time it's not just people
It is planet and life itself
So we dust off all the lessons learned
And take wisdom off the shelf

Oh, what you gonna do about me?
Oh, what you gonna do about me?
We shall not be moved
