about

Wellington alt-country band the beens' debut single 'Not My Problem'.

lyrics

Something strange is happening here and I'm not sure just what it is
a guy is trying to sell me stuff that's yours and mine, and hers and his
& it'll hit the people where they live
baby, what gives?

It's not like we didn't see it
it's always the same when they're in charge
but people wanted to believe that everyone could live that large
the poor "deserve the punishment they get"
so why fret?

It's not my problem

John says " Let the market God decide who lives and who dies
yeah, that's how it should be
and you can tell all of these socialists to go and get a job
and stop hangin' 'round the university! "

I can't say I understand why you all seem to love this man
maybe his success is yours in ways that I don't understand?
But when I look for something in his eyes
hope dies
