In the quest for the test to fulfill an achievement / everybody's only in it for themselves / when the fact of the matter is they just don't care / to extend a helping hand to anyone else / so tell me why, did you have to lie / and try to make me all confused about the U.S.A. / when the fact of the matter is you just don't care / to comprehend or understand a single word I say / I don't want to have I go against I / oh let me tell you / the same old story, no factual glory / I against I against I against I / and I say I don't like it, and I know I don't want it / I against I against I against I / almighty watching, almighty watching / I against I against I against I / and I say I don't like it, and I know I don't want it / I against I against I against I / I said who's gonna tell the youth about the drugs / about the drugs, mugs, bugs, and the police thugs / about the rotten stinkin' rackets and the fantasies / around the nation, around the nations / oh baby what you gonna do / I tell you the truth is looking straight at you / I got a brass continental with a 300 Z, two color t.v.s,now a video too / I got a rest home in Jamaica for my fantasty, for my family / around the nation / around the nations / what you gonna do.
