Another Day
|
|
Every day that goes by
|
A new hungry baby starts to cry
|
Born astride a painful grave
|
Drowned in hunger's tidal wave
|
Pick a child that you can save
|
It'd be the only one
|
|
If Africa escapes starvation
|
Not only food but education
|
The desert grows with every minute
|
Trapping everybody in it
|
All the children look the same
|
They wonder why they came
|
But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure
|
It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why
|
The only thing I really know for sure
|
Is that another day, another day's gone by
|
|
Every day that goes by
|
A brand new missile points towards the sky
|
We're survivors of a game of chance
|
Beneath an arms race avalanche
|
If you survive this winter's cold
|
You'd be the only one
|
|
If we escape annihilation
|
Not only hope but education
|
The world is ruled by Bellophiles
|
Adding to their weapon piles
|
Imagine what your taxes buy
|
We hardly ever try
|
But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure
|
It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why
|
The only thing I really know for sure
|
Is that another day, another day's gone by, bye,bye
|
|
That this too solid flesh
|
Would melt and resolve into a dew
|
Suffocating lassitude
|
Drowning in my platitude
|
Trapped by insecurities
|
I'm not the only one
|
If I survive this dislocation
|
Have to use my education
|
|
Chief of inactivity
|
Wasted creativity
|
Distances our revolution
|
Silence is consent
|
But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure
|
It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why
|
The only thing I really know for sure
|
Is that another day, another day's gone by
|
