I give a hoot, but I still pollute
I don't know what's the matter with me
I won't kill, but I think I'd shoot
If it meant whether or not I'd be free

I give a hoot, but I still pollute
I don't know what's the matter with me
I won't kill, but I think I'd shoot
If it meant whether or not I'd be free
Simulated sympathy in a world full of pain
It's each for his own if there's something to gain
I've got my own problems, it's hard to care
There's just more death than I can bear
So I fly my flag at half mast
Big, black clouds hanging over me
My days are always overcast
Burnt out buildings return my stare
But I must hang on though the sea is dead
I must hold on someone said
I must go on though young men die
I must push on but I can't rember why

I give a hoot, but I still pollute
