Sheryl Crow - Say What You Want [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I saw your ranting on TV today
I heard you tell me to reload
You got a lot of nerve to talk that way
Someone unplug the microphone
I'm tired of all the fighting
Cynicism and back-biting
Can't even hear myself think
You pour the Kool-Aid and then we drink

[Pre-Chorus]
So much noise, so much chatter
Does the truth even matter?

[Chorus]
Say, say what you want to
(Even though you never mean it)
Say, say what you want to
(Ain't got time to be wasting time)
Say, say what you want to
(We had a chance and now we're going to blow it)
Say, say what you want to
(If this is America, you'd never know it)

[Bridge]
Ignorance is patriotic
Reason is idiotic
Winds of change keep on blowing
If this is America, you'd never know it

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
All you little ones with open hearts
Don't let hatred tear your world apart
And if you wonder who is wrong or who is right
Better go ask God to shine some light
Earthquakes and jihad Jane
Talking heads and hate campaigns
If aliens should land today
Who would be more afraid, us or them?

[Chorus][x3]
