Why you hurt me?
Why you make me so sick?
Why you take and take?
And even change the laws
You deregulate
Seek to destroy our homes
You're a mean old man
You're a mean old man
What's your legacy?
What's your legacy?
Burning fields in Iraq
Burning fields in Nigeria
Burning oceans
Burning populations
Our burning lungs, our burning lungs, our burning lungs
Burning people
Burning hope
Burnt planet
All for your wealth
Your wealth is predicated upon the poverty of others
Others must be poor
If you're to be rich
What is your dream?
And when will it end?
You're a mean old man
You're a mean old man
What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you hope for?
