[00:12.24]Mr. Richards, your position
[00:15.42]Is a messenger pigeon
[00:18.43]Left behind you when the camp moved on
[00:25.49]We thought that you would listen
[00:28.10]But the words had never crystallized
[00:31.67]Into a truth that you might own, hey hey
[00:39.13]Mr. Richards, your decision
[00:42.53]Pay attention, pay attention
[00:50.23]Mr. Richards, you're forgiven
[00:53.31]For a narrow lack of vision
[00:56.49]But the fire's are still raging on
[01:03.58]The public's got opinions
[01:06.04]And these consequences border on
[01:09.54]The compound that you raised will
[01:12.72]Sell it see, hey hey
[01:17.28]Mr. Richards, your decision
[01:20.57]Pay attention, pay attention

[01:33.04]Pay attention, pay attention
[01:41.42]So listen, your intention
[01:44.28]Sign the papers, stamp the ribbon
[01:47.24]You're mistaken if you think we'll just forget
[01:53.79]You can thump your chest and rattle
[01:56.84]Stand in front of your piano
[02:00.03]But we know what's going on
[02:06.53]Yes, we know what's going on
[02:12.96]We're the children of the choir, hey
[02:19.38]And we know what's going on
[02:28.82]Mr. Richards, your conviction
[02:31.86]Had us cheering in the kitchen
[02:35.08]Now the jury's eating pigeon pie
[02:41.76]So tell me how is prison
[02:44.68]Have they taught you how to listen?

[02:50.95]Pay attention, pay attention
[02:54.16]Mr. Richards, your decision
[02:57.21]Pay attention, pay attention
[03:07.06]You can thump your chest and rattle
