Sisters, brothers and the whities,

Blacks and the crackers,

Police and their backers,

They're all political actors.


Hurry, people running from their worries,

While the judge and his juries

Dictate the law that's partly flaw.

Cat calling, love balling,

Fussing and a-cussing.

Top billing is now killing,

For peace no-one is willing,

Kinda make you get that feeling.


Everybody smoke, use the pill and the dope,

Educated fools from uneducated schools.

Pimping people is the rule,

Polluted water in the pool.


And Nixon talking 'bout don't worry,

He say don't worry,

He say don't worry,

He say don't worry.


But don't they know, there can be no show,

And if there's hell below we're all gonna go.


Everybody's praying and everybody's saying,

But when come time to do everybody's laying.

Just talking 'bout don't worry.

They say don't worry,

They say don't worry,

They say don't worry.


Sisters, brothers and the whities,

Blacks and the crackers,

Police and their backers,

They're all political actors.


Smoke the pill and the dope,

Educated fools from uneducated schools.

Pimping people is the rule.

Polluted water in the pool.


And everybody's saying don't worry,

They say don't worry,

They say don't worry,

They say don't worry.


But they don't know, there can be no show,

And if there's hell below we're all gonna go.


Tell me what we gonna do if everything I say is true?

This ain't no way it ought to be, if only all the mass could see.

But they keep talking 'bout don't worry,

They say don't worry,

They say don't worry,

They say don't worry.
