lyrics

What kind of world are you passing on?
What will your grandkids think of you?
What kind of world are you passing on?
Do you think they'll forgive you?

Enforce law
That's what your job is
Can't redraw
What being a cop is
Just trying
To follow orders
Providing
True law and order
Doing your best
To lay the law down
No protests
Disrupting your town
That can mean
Some people get bashed
Trapped between
Tasers and tear gas

What kind of world are you passing on?
What will your grandkids think of you?
What kind of world are you passing on?
Do you think they'll forgive you?

You sit on a board
Answer to investors
All above board
Rarely contested
Raking it in
Share price is healthy
It's no sin
Investors are wealthy
What's the cost?
Death and pollution
Can't be stopped
There's no solution
Blot it out
Try not to think of it
There's no doubt
You know who's affected

What kind of world are you passing on?
What will your grandkids think of you?
What kind of world are you passing on?
Do you think they'll forgive you?

Been elected
To represent people
Respected
In all the right circles
Got ideals
That you still hold dear
Just made deals
On your way up here
Got to pay
All those people back
Got no say
In all that payback
If that means
Breaking some promises
That's just what
The cost of high office is

What kind of world are you passing on?
What will your grandkids think of you?
What kind of world are you passing on?
Do you think they'll forgive you?

What kind of world are you passing on?
What will your grandkids think of you?
What kind of world are you passing on?
Do you think they'll forgive you?
