Econ (What is it Good For?)



With apologies to Edwin Starr...


Econ, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all
Econ, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
Ohhh, econ, I despise
Because it means destruction
Of innocent lives
Econ means tears
To thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to jobs
And lose their lives
I said, econ, huh
Good God, y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
Econ, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
Econ, it ain't nothing
But a heartbreaker
Econ, friend only to the big banker
Ooooh, econ
It's an enemy to all mankind
The point of econ blows my mind
Econ has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die
Aaaaah, econ-huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
Econ, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
Econ, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
Econ, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again y'all
Econ, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
Econ, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
Econ, it's got one friend
That's the big banker
Ooooh, econ, has shattered
Many a young mans dreams
Made him poor, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting banks these days
Econ can't give buck
It can only take it away
Ooooh, econ, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
Econ, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
Econ, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the big banker
Peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way
Ooooooh, econ, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
You tell me
Say it, say it, say it, say it
Econ, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Stand up and shout it
Nothing
