lyrics

MODEL CITIZENS

V1
We don't drive to fast and we don't waste all our gas
We don't litter the streets and we don't drag our feet

C1
Because we are the model citizens
Because we are the model citizens

V2
We don't argue we don't fight cause we know we are right
And if you follow us tonight we will all be alright

C2 (Repeat)

BRIDGE 1
We're not losing this war against war
We will put your world in line

V3
There's no need to speak if you don't know what to say
There's too much ignorance as there is today

C3 (Repeat)

INSTRUMENTAL

BRIDGE 2
Let us pick and choose, we know what is good for you
There's no need to think you will probably only sink

V4
There is no worry and there is no hurry
There will be no war, we'll feed all the poor

C4 (Repeat)
