[Background Girls]
Down doobie doo, down doobie doo
Down doobie doo, down doobie doo
[Verse 1 (Lead)]
Daddy worked the factory line
Mama worked from nine to five
They said if you put your shoulder to it
You could build a better life
[Background Girls]
A better life, a better life
[Lead]
Now everybody's talking loudly
Saying something isn't fair
But every answer that they're selling
Leaves me wondering who's there
[Background Girls]
Who's there? Who's there?
[Chorus]
Down doobie doo, down doobie doo
When did the rules all rearrange?
What happened to believing hard work
Could help a person make a change?
Down doobie doo, down doobie doo
I'm just trying to understand
Why it feels like someone's moving
All the lines I used to stand
[Verse 2]
They tell me who I'm supposed to blame
They tell me who I'm supposed to trust
They say some people know much better
Just because they're famous enough
[Background Girls]
Famous enough, famous enough
[Lead]
But pretty faces aren't the answers
And popularity won't do
I'd rather hear the voice of reason
Than the loudest point of view
[Background Girls]
Point of view, point of view
[Chorus]
Down doobie doo, down doobie doo
When did the rules all rearrange?
What happened to believing hard work
Could help a person make a change?
Down doobie doo, down doobie doo
I'm just trying to understand
Why it feels like someone's moving
All the lines I used to stand
[Bridge]
Who said neighbors should be enemies?
Who said success should bring us shame?
Why are we always split in pieces
And calling everybody names?
[Background Girls]
Why, why, why?
[Lead]
The power's not in marble buildings
Or the faces on TV
The power's in the men and women
Who are working every week
[Background Girls]
You and me, you and me
[Final Chorus]
Down doobie doo, down doobie doo
Maybe we've forgotten somehow
The government belongs to people
Just as much as then as now
Down doobie doo, down doobie doo
Hear the harmony begin
Different voices, one big chorus
Trying to pull together again
[Outro]
[Background Girls]
Down doobie doo, down doobie doo
Down doobie doo, down doobie doo
[Lead]
The people still are singing...
(Background Girls)
Down doobie doo...
