Think I'll Sit This One Out

I've seen this situation once before
Oil companies calling for more, more, more
What's the right thing to do these days?
I think I'll park my car and walk away

And I'll just sit this one out

Cars in lines stalling on streets
Struggling to make ends meet
Do we starve by the dozen or by the score
While oil companies call for more, more, more

And I think I'll just sit this one out

Is there life in living under a bridge
Do we face destiny with fear or courage?
Where is America, calling for me?
Is this still the land of the free?

And I think I'll just sit this one out
