Holly Near What About Me? lyrics

You poisoned my sweet water. You cut down my green trees.
The food you feed my children is the cause of their ill disease.
The world is slowly falling down. The air is not fit to breathe.
And yet you seem to think that you can keep doing as you please

Oh, what you gonna do about me?
Oh, what you gonna do about me?

We work in your factories. We study in your schools.
Fill the penitentiaries and the military too.
I can feel the future trembling as the word gets passed around.
There are more of us than we know if we can find our common ground
And they know that or they would not be trying to shut us down.

Oh, what you gonna do about me?

Oh, what you gonna do about me?
Oh, what you gonna do about me?
Oh, what you gonna do about me?

The world falls into greedy hands when we the people fall asleep.
This is not new, each generation wakes to make the leap.
But this time it's not just people. It is planet and life itself.
So we dust off all the lessons learned and take wisdom off the shelf.

Oh, what you gonna do about me?
Oh, what you gonna do about me?We shall not be moved
