DON’T SPECTATE; PARTICIPATE

The time has come for us to go
and use our voices, cast our votes.
Half of us will just look on
while the others try to fix what’s wrong.
Don’t spectate; participate
If you don’t give a damn and you’ve nothing to say,
If you won’t give a damn then step out of the way.

If I hear another citizen say
“This election won’t affect me either way.”
Well my selfish friend, that may be true
but there’s a few more people in this world besides you.
Don’t spectate; participate
If you don’t give a damn and you’ve nothing to say,
If you won’t give a damn then step out of the way.

If I hear another coward say
“If that one side wins then I’m moving away.”
Do us a favor, and get the hell out now.
This land was never your land anyhow.
You can spectate while we participate.
If you don’t give a damn and you’ve nothing to say,
If you won’t give a damn it’s a God damned shame.

If I hear about another regulation
that prevents anybody from participation.
Well, I say to you
as you try to turn back time,
A lot of citizens died so we could have this right.
Don’t spectate; participate
If you don’t give a damn and you’ve nothing to say
Well If you don’t give a damn then get out of the way
You might give a damn as you’re fading away
but if you won’t give a damn it’s a God damned shame

DON’T SPECTATE; PARTICIPATE

The time has come for us to go
and use our voices, cast our votes.
Half of us will just look on
while the others try to fix what’s wrong.
Don’t spectate; participate
If you don’t give a damn and you’ve nothing to say,
If you won’t give a damn then step out of the way.

If I hear another citizen say
“This election won’t affect me either way.”
Well my selfish friend, that may be true
but there’s a few more people in this world besides you.
Don’t spectate; participate
If you don’t give a damn and you’ve nothing to say,
If you won’t give a damn then step out of the way.

If I hear about another regulation
that prevents anybody from participation.
Well, I say to you
as you try to turn back time,
A lot of citizens died so we could have this right.
Don’t spectate; participate
If you don’t give a damn and you’ve nothing to say
Well If you don’t give a damn then get out of the way
You might give a damn as you’re fading away
but if you won’t give a damn it’s a God damned shame
