IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH

No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
It's not good enough
It's not good enough
It's not good enough
It's not good enough

You can keep people hungry
Or try to leave them poor
But they will want some answers
Come knocking on your door
Take any living animal
If you don't treat him right
Every time you knock him down
He's going to get back up and fight

And if that is, and if that is a crime
And if that is, and if that is a crime
All our living's a waste of time
A waste of time

No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
It's not good enough
It's not good enough
It's not good enough
It's not good enough

You can look for your justice
But just don't step out of line
Interrupt the judge's dinner
And you're in there doing time
We've women in our prisons
And men maimed in our cells
Condemned by men no better
Than to live in bloody hell

And if that is, and if that is a crime
And if that is, and if that is a crime
All our living's a waste of time
A waste of time

We've women in our prisons
And men maimed in our cells
Condemned by men no better
Than to live in bloody hell

And if that is, and if that is a crime
And if that is, and if that is a crime
All our living's a waste of time
A waste of time, a waste of time.
