What have they done to your car, Pa?
What on Earth have they done to your car?
It never had a scratch and it was so intact
Now there's chickens roosting on the steering wheel
It's so unreal

What have they done to the town, Mrs. Brown?
What on Earth have they done to the town?
There's rubbish lyin' round
Needs some paint and so run down
There's shanties everywhere, they changed the name
It's such a shame
It's such a shame

If you wanna be a survivor
If you need strength so you can tolerate these times
If you wanna be a survivor
You carry unilateral independent state of mind
Your very own U.D.I state of mind

What have they done to the land, Uncle Sam?
What on Earth have they done to the land?
What about the Queen?
I'll bet she's not too keen
To visit like she did in colonial days
No ways!

What is there left here to rob, Bob?
What on Earth is there left here to rob?
Since you stole the land away
Folks are dyin' every day
And the world stands by and watches silently
A human tragedy
Such a tragedy

And if you wanna be a survivor
If you need strength so you can tolerate these times
If you wanna be a survivor
You carry unilateral independent state of mind
Your very own U.D.I state of mind

Although we told them so
All those years ago
They said they didn't know
It would sink so low

They're all the same
In the political game
There is much to blame
And share the shame

The world lives a lie
By just standin' by
So keep your standards high
To carry U.D.I
