|
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 makin' babies |
|
Sometimes just to escape |
|
In this land of competition |
|
The compassion is gone |
|
Yet we ignore the needy |
|
And we keep pushin' on |
|
Keep pushin' on |
|
This is just a punk rock song |
|
Written for the people who can see somethin'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 |
|
Have you visited the quagmire |
|
Have you swam in the shit? |
|
The party convention |
|
And the real politic |
|
The face is always different |
|
The rhetoric the same |
|
But we swallow it all |
|
And we see nothin' change |
|
Nothin' has changed |
|
This is just a punk rock song |
|
Written for the people who can see somethin's wrong |
|
Like workers in a factory we do our share |
|
But there's so many other fuckin' robots out there |
|
And this is just a punk rock song |
|
Ten million dollars on a losing campaign |
|
Twenty million starvin' and writhing in pain |
|
Big strong people unwillin' to give |
|
Small in vision and perspective |
|
One in five kids below the poverty line |
|
One population runnin' out of time |
|
Runnin' out of time |
|
This is just a punk rock song |
|
Written for the people who can see somethin'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 |
|
The figures don't lie, they speak of human disease |
|
But we do what we want and we think what we please |
|
One in five kids below the poverty line |
|
One population runnin' out of time |
|
This is just a punk rock song |
|
This is just a punk rock song |
|
This is just a punk rock song |
