Who needs peace when we've got the bomb
Who needs to love when you got the bowl
Who needs money when youve got your credit
You got your plastic paying all your bills

Who needs books when you got tv
You don't need to read with the vcr
Who needs to cook we got the microwave
You don't need to walk when you've got a car

We be livin in a perfect world ???
A system helpless by itself ???

Who needs to get up and change the channel
When the remotes can do that for you
Who needs children when youve got abortion
You can kill your babies if you want to

Who needs books when you got tv
You don't need to read with the vcr
Who needs to cook we got the microwave
You don't have to walk when you've got a car

(chorus)
