I watch the news, I see there's war;
the plund'ring, raping I ignore.
The world can rot and I won't care;
I'm sitting in my easy chair.
The world is full of tragedy
but what the heck is that to me?
At starving people I can stare
when sitting in my easy chair.
You think I'm helping? What a joke!
I've got a beer and my remote!
The world’s a mess. Should I despair?
I'm safe here in my easy chair.
You say you want me to assist?
I take the path that least resists.
Some time and effort I can't spare;
I'm busy in my easy chair.
There’s slav'ry, porn, disease and drugs
and parents selfish with their hugs.
Recruit some famous millionaire –
I'm comfy in my easy chair.
My life has had its share of pain;
why should I give the world my aid?
I’m good at being unaware –
I'll not move from my easy chair.
You want more money for your cause?
So what - you think I'm Santa Clause?
I gave two bucks, that's more than fair,
just leave me to my easy chair.
Benevolence just ain't my thing.
Make altruism your brass ring.
Those troubled people have no prayer;
I'm staying in my easy chair.
You’re sick of crime and child abuse?
Then put your own self in their shoes.
You want these global ills repaired?
Get out of your damned easy chair.
