I wouldn’t wanna be a kid in Africa
|
Where the sun has never shown
|
For the child soldiers soldiering all day long
|
Never knew the joys of being a kid
|
Just a slit in the arm and a forced drug fix
|
Then it’s off with a gun to the torture, murder, death
|
|
And as I walk these modern streets looking into the future
|
Yeah as I walk these modern streets looking into the future
|
|
Well now I wouldn’t wanna be a kid in the USA
|
Where the kids are disposable
|
You’re just a number on the docket of the selective service roll
|
Wouldn’t wanna be a kid in one of many lands
|
Working in a factory, a field, a mine
|
A sweatshop worker on the production line
|
|
And as I walk these modern streets looking into the future
|
Yeah as I walk these modern streets looking into the future
|
|
What will it take to end the massacre?
|
What will it take to end the massacre?
|
What will it take to end the massacre?
|
What will it take to end the massacre?
|
|
Well now I wouldn’t wanna be a kid in the modern world
|
Neurotic, full of fear, no control
|
Hungry, empty, feeling worn and old
|
Unable to make sense of the heads of state
|
Unable to make sense of the wars they wage
|
Feeling every second that I live I go closer to the grave
|
I need to know…
|
|
What will it take oh no
|
What will it take oh no
|
|
(1, 2, 3, 4!)
|
|
What will it take to end the massacre?
|
What will it take to end the massacre?
|
What will it take to end the massacre?
|
What will it take to end the massacre?
