Gifts
Imprimer uniquement les paroles
There's an imbalance with grave consequence
In this world, it doesn't make much fucking sense
We take from the poor just to give the rich more
The abuse we've caused won't be ignored
anymore
What's the point in lying
There's no use denying
It's not that we can't help them
We're not even trying
We spend more on soldiers
Following orders
There'd be no war
If we'd forget our borders
So why
With all the gifts we have
Are there still ones who cry
What do we really have
When half the world is
Living in their shanty towns and
Barely living day to day
There's still forty-one thousand
People starving every single day
Ahmet's never learned how to read
Books and schools are things he just cannot afford
While Michael's crying because cable's out
And he's missing his favorite show
And while the people in the US
Scream the cost of oil is too fucking high
In the Middle East they (the real owners of this oil) are dying
