Let’s Give Thanks Lyrics by Leon Rosselson

For the Good of the Nation

1981

[Verse 1]
On your knees
Thank them for living
They've got plans to steal the sun
All you get is what there giving
And there looking after number one
[Chorus]
So lets give thanks
For the scraps that they throw us
For the kindness that they show us
For the freedom they allow us
The other day I thought I heard a voice that said
"Things are bad but you'll pull through just watch your head"
[Verse 2]
They've got mansions made of marble
They've got guards on every door
Scrap the crumbs from off the table
Gotta give a handout to the poor
[Chorus]
So lets givе thanks
For the scraps that they throw us
For the kindnеss that they show us
For the freedom they allow us
The other day I thought I heard a voice that said
"Things could be worse, your getting sleep your getting fed"
[Verse 3]
Watch the eyes that peer round corners
Watch your step dont try to run
Even the corpses oh watch the mourners
Everyones watching everyone
[Chorus]
So lets give thanks
For the scraps that they throw us
For the kindness that they show us
For the freedom they allow us
The other day I thought I heard a voice that said
"Things are bad but there are good times ahead"
[Verse 4]
You'd better move when they fire the sirens
There gonna get you and it could be soon
All the guards have hearts of iron
To make sure you keep dancing to there tune
[Chorus]
So lets give thanks
For the scraps that they throw us
For the kindness that they show us
For the freedom they allow us
The other day I thought I heard a voice that said
"Get off your knees or you'll be better of dead"
