If Not Now, When?



  Someone stuck me on the losing side

  Everything is someone else's fault

  We're not good enough for me to care



  And the mantra is

  "Too much effort, there's never time"

  And your sole solution is a high pitched whine

  It's not red-hot coals, it's not busted glass

  There's no Mau-Maus after your sweet pink ass



  So if not now when, if not now when, if not now when?

  If not you, who then?



  No one wants to be the first to fail

  I won't play unless you guard my back



  And the mantra is

  "Change the system, and please arrange it

  To change some way that I feel no change"

  It's not flaming necklaces, household spies

  There's no market bombings, no bullets fly



  Bosnia, Bosnia

  Try spelling "Herzegovina"

  Where money talks and bullshit walks

  The bullet or the ballet box



  Babylon, oh Babylon

  We babble on in Babylon

  The TV blows, the music sucks

  The bullet or the ballot box



  We're not good enough for me to care



  And the mantra is

  "Leave the gun on the table loaded

  The first to grab it's as good as voted in"
