[Refrain]
If you don't like the effects, don't produce the cause
If you don't like the effects, don't produce the cause
If you don't like the effects, don't produce the cause

[Verse 1]
You say you don't like where you're at (yeah)
You can make a change, if you accept the blame
Stay in control of your reactions (yeah)
Will determine the effect of any situation
You have the power to negate
Any loss-causing feeling that prohibits you to think
A situation is just that, it has no special power to do you harm
It's your reactions that count

[Refrain]
If you don't like the effects, don't produce the cause
If you don't like the effects, don't produce the cause

[Verse 2]
You say you don't like what your country's about (yeah)
Ain't you deep, in your semi-first class seat
You picket this and protest that, and eat yourself fat
Ain't you deep, in your semi-first class seat

[Refrain]
If you don't like the effects, don't produce the cause
If you don't like the effects, don't produce the cause
If you don't like the effects, don't produce the cause
If you don't like the effects, don't produce the cause
[Verse 2]
You say you don't like what your country's about (yeah)
Ain't you deep, in your semi-first class seat
You picket this and protest that, and eat yourself fat
Ain't you deep, in your semi-first class seat

[Outro]
La la la la-la, la la la la
Ain't you deep, in your semi-first class seat
La la la la-la
