Sometimes I only heard the argument That’s when I knew we were doomed To this unholy fate Doesn’t it taste like castor oil Doesn’t it read like deju vu Doesn’t it bleed like internal injury Sure seems like someone is being fooled Don’t come preach to me about tomorrow Don’t recite to me your hollow creed I am the man with the sign Who’ll work for next to nothing I am the mothers with children You refuse to feed We all care too much for our possessions We expect too much from the other guy We give too little to our neighbors Can’t seem to live our lives Without an alibi Doesn’t it taste like castor oil Doesn’t it read like deju vu Doesn’t it bleed like internal injury Sure seems like someone is being fooled There’ve been some who’ve tried to guide our future There’ve been others who’ve tried to save our soul There’ve been those who’ve searched The mountains, valleys and harbors Still no one has determined what it is We really need to know Doesn’t it taste like castor oil Doesn’t it read like deju vu Doesn’t it bleed like internal injury Sure seems like someone is being fooled Wars come and go for so many But for a select few it means the end In our poorest neighborhoods they hear the calling From a nation they give their lives to defend You won’t see this in the daily papers You can’t watch this on the late night news Flag draped coffins returning by the dozens A picture they tell us is too depressing To be viewed Doesn’t it taste like castor oil Doesn’t it read like deju vu Doesn’t it bleed like internal injury Sure seems like someone is being fooled Now you can read about this in the daily papers You watch this on the 10 o’clock news You can record and replay the talk show mediators As they tell us we’ve done nothing but Have everything to loose Doesn’t it taste like castor oil Doesn’t it read like deju vu Doesn’t it bleed like internal injury Sure seems like someone is being fooled
