have you been to the desert?
|
have you walked with the dead?
|
there's a hundred thousand children being killed for their bread
|
|
and the figures don't lie they speak of human disease
|
but we do what we want and we think what we please
|
|
have you lived the experience?
|
have you witnessed the plague?
|
people making babies sometimes just to escape
|
in this land of competition the compassion is gone
|
yet we ignore the needy and we keep pushing on
|
we keep pushing on
|
|
this is just a punk rock song
|
written for the people who can see something's wrong
|
like ants in a colony we do our share
|
but there's so many other fuckin' insects out there
|
and this is just a punk rock song
|
(like workers in a factory we do our share
|
but there's so many other fuckin' robots out there)
|
|
have you visited the quagmire?
|
have you swam in the shit?
|
the party conventions and the real politik
|
the faces always different, the rhetoric the same
|
but we swallow it, and we see nothing change
|
nothing has changed...
|
|
10 million dollars on a losing campaign
|
20 million starving and writhing in pain
|
big strong people unwilling to give
|
small in vision and perspective
|
one in five kids below the poverty line
|
one population runnin' out of time
|
