about

A new song from Big Ben and his band about the things going on in the world today.

lyrics

Do you see what I see
Around the world, across the land
And on cable TV?
Do you hear what I hear?
It's all for show,
They only show you
What they want you to know.

They're putting poison in the water,
Taking oil from the ground.
Unemployment's up,
And the stock market's down,
And people everywhere
Are lined up in streets;
They're throwing ballots in the garbage.
You can't beat the one who cheats!

Do you see what I see?
They pull the wool and
Keep us down,
Then they tell us that we're free.
Do you hear what I hear?
Preachers preach the end is near,
They got us living in fear.

They're installing crooked judges,
And they're breaking all the laws.
Locking children up in cages,
Fighting wars without a cause.
They're taking more and more,
We got nothing left to give.
Win or lose, which side you choose
Tells the other how to live.

How much more can you stand?
There's too much hate in this land.
I fear the end is at hand;
Poisoned by division,
Ripped apart by our derision.

All across the globe,
Thieves and tyrants raising hell
While we're locked up in our homes
Just like we're living in a cell.
The doctors and the nurses
Put their lives on the line.
Essential workers keep on working
And they barely make a dime!

Do you see what I see
Around the world, across the land
And on cable TV?
Do you hear what I hear?
It's all for show,
They only show you
What they want you to know.

Do you see what I see?
They pull the wool and
Keep us down,
Then they tell us that we're free.
Do you hear what I hear?
Preachers preach the end is near,
They got us living in fear.

Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
