Lyrics:
I know if you been lookin' now you can see
the closer than your nose reality.
I know if you been lookin' now you can see,
but if you won't look, this song won't mean a thing.

Now but don't you despair, there ain't no rule that says you got to care.
You can always swear you're deaf dumb and blind.
It works one time. But nothing works forever.


I know if you been listenin'now you can hear.
The sound of the peoples' footprints running in fear.

I know if you been listenin'now you can heard,
how the people be cryin' out for a soothing word.
And you can give 'em the word,
but now don't you despair, there ain't no rule that says you got to care.
You can always swear they're deaf dumb and blind.


(bridge) Offering one chance for you to boogie down.
Yes and the smack I got with me is the best in town.
You know everybody wanna get high every now and then.
Offering you a chance to dance and swing,
I need you out here with me when I do my thing.
Yes and all I want from you is your mind and soul
So come on and operate with me until you get too old.

To be ...( )...took your mind
And left you and your people far behind
(And when you retire, your very own jukebox

Life ain't nothin but a sham
Can you tell me who i am?
Dressed in red, white and blue, you're Uncle Sam

(almost didn't recognise me, did you?)

I know if you been talkin now you done said
Just how suprized you was about living dead

You were suprized that they could understand your words (fear! fear!)
And never respond once to all the truth they heard.(zombie! zombie! boogie!)
Now don't you get square, there ain't no rule that says they've got to care.
They can always swear they're deaf, dumb and blind.

Life ain't nothin but a sham
Can you tell me who i am?
Dressed in red, white and blue, you're Uncle Sam
