On wall street

It's been sheer pandemonium

On main street

Children lost and alone again

Don't tell

I can't handle no more bad news

I don't want to know

Apartheidpeople long for equality

We all hide in our separate societies

Don't tell me I can't take no

No more blues

What are we gonna do

National amnesia

'Cause I don't really wanna see

What's going on around us here

It's so clear that it don't apply to me

The truth is often frightening

But one thing should be understood

To live in the clouds with your head in the sand is no good

They're starving

But they're so very far away

We'll survive

And besides

I've got bills to pay

Babies holding out their dirty hands

I don't want to know

Collusionjust make sure that the story's clear

Disillusiongive them just what they wanna hear

Confusion all across the world

What are we gonna do

National amnesia

'Cause I don't really wanna see

What's going on around us here

It's so clear that it don't apply to me

The truth is often frightening

But one thing should be understood

To live in the clouds with your head in the sand is no good

Changing times

Growing stranger by the year

That's okay

I hear what I wanna hear

Look around and try to take a point of view

Don't you know what goes down turns around and comes back to you

I don't want to know

What are we gonna do

National amnesia

'Cause I don't really wanna see

What's going on around us here

It's so clear that it don't apply to me

The truth is often frightening

But one thing should be understood

To live in the clouds with your head in the sand is no good

National amnesia

Is upon us so what are we gonna do
