Paid a high price for justice
And I don't know why
Nobody seems to know why
I know a lot of things
But I don't know a lot of other things...
Yeah Yeah YeahCHORUSWell I've been to Harlem CountyAnd I've seen Paris, TexasAnd I've spent some time in RomeI know a lot of funny people
In a lot of funny places
But the Midwest is my homeWe've got to start respectin' this world
Or it's gonna turn around and bite off our faceCHORUS
