Smoke Ring Days

Lyrics

Remake of the classic 60s Quicksilver song.

You poisoned my sweet water, you cut down my green trees
The food you fed my children was the cause of their disease
My world is slowly fallin’ down, and the air’s not good to breathe
And those of us who care enough, we have to do something

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

Your newspapers, they just put you on
They never tell you the whole story
They just put your young ideas down
I was wonderin’ could this be the end of your pride and glory

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

And I feel like a stranger in the land where I was born
And I live like an outlaw, an’ I’m always on the run
And I’m always getting busted, and I got to take a stand
I believe the revolution must be mighty close at hand

I work in your factories, I study in your schools
I fill your penitentiaries and your military, too
And I feel the future tremblin’ as the word is passed around
If you stand up for what you do believe, be prepared to be shot 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
