歌詞

Now here this,do not panic Do As I Say, Do As I Say When heads of state get together To pass the pipe of peace around WAR - they gotta keep the numbers down Every double standard They nail into the vanguard And always let you down Raise it to the ground Do as I say, not as I do You'd better Do as I say, not as I do This means you Their smiles they keep in high profile For paparazzi act docile NO - the lessons we will never learn On television they stand out To lead the way in the hand outs Cause there's money to be found Watch them spill it on the ground Do as I say, not as I do You'd better Do as I say, not as I do Do as I say, not as I do You'd better Do as I say, not as I do Well this means you Armageddon needs action To stop the chain of reactions OH - but business wheels keep turning round They're headed on a one-way street But still the profits taste oh so sweet many mouths to feed Just let the suckers bleed Hear them say Do as I say, not as I do You'd better Do as I say, not as I do There talking to you Ah do as I say, not as I do You'd better Do as I say, not as I do This means you!
