Many fled to Zaire for the fear of being killed in the vicious,
|
Bloody civil war that took half a million lives
|
Over two milion refugees pile into neighboring countries towns
|
Hoping to escape their deaths but this is what they found
|
Bodies stacked in massive piles and mass graves overflowing
|
As the cholera camps are waiting for the aid to finally come
|
The Rwandan refugees are dying by the thousands every day
|
While clean water needed to preserve life is supposedly on it's way
|
Too little, too late
|
We are all responsible for the third world we create
|
Now we try to help these people but we're too fucking late
|
Too little, too late
|
We control the third world's fate
|
Our high standard of living contributes to their deaths
|
And the truth behind the bloodshed is what our government protects
|
But the fault is also ours because we're killing with our greed
|
For our material possessions we confuse our wants with need
|
The companies and the media promote these capitalist views,
|
Praising the American way of life, never asking at whose expense
|
So if you think we're helping then you're really fucking blind
|
Because we're after special interests and the rest we leave behind
|
Too little, too late
|
We are all responsible for the third world we create
|
Now we try to help these people but we're too fucking late
|
Too little, too late
|
We control the third world's fate
|
Haitian and Cuban refugees try to find a better life only to be denied
|
Entry to the United States because our government doesn't deem it necessary
|
To help our fellow man, so if they can't make us money
|
They don't want them in our land
|
Panama and Nicaragua were some to receive our "aid",
|
So what kind of difference did we make beside the loss of lives?
|
And how is life in BOSNIA? Did the problems disapear?
|
And what about Rwanda is their water now crystal clear?
|
Too little, too late
|
We are all responsible for the third world we create
|
Now we try to help these people but we're too fucking late
|
Too little, too late
|
We control the third world's fate
|
