What's wrong with us ?
What's wrong with us ?
When twenty million people die,
For lack of food, lack of supply,
When helpless hands and tearful eyes,
Move us a little, but do not make us cry...
There's something wrong with us!
When unborn babies have no rights,
And being born is left to chance,
When mothers worry, fathers mourn,
How to survive and get kids grown....
There's something wrong with us!
When our leaders can be bought,
And scandals flourish of greed and lies,
When law and order are being thought
To control our minds and our lives...
There's something wrong with us!
When all our values come down to money,
For an endless dance around the golden calf,
When prison camps are overflowing,
And teenage children are made criminals...
There's something wrong with us!
When most of our money goes
To defend a life which is hardly worth living,
When Nations are asked to back down and comply
With our needs, instead of us giving......
There's something wrong with us!
When we live on our children's assets,
Carelessly destroying their future world,
When rivers and oceans, and even the heavens
Die of pollution, never to restore..
There's something wrong with us!
When those who have warned us, are marked unworthy,
And those who want change are silenced by force.
When records are false to keep us in blindness,
It's highly time that we all should know...
There's something wrong with us!
Don't tell me I'm wrong, or that nothing can be done,
Remember those leaders of the past?
Those men and women who worked for us,
For our future, and our times to last.
Responsibility is what I want to see,
And belief in our human kind,
Sacrifice and heart is what we need,
Not making money by the mind
So I give a darn if corporations make money,
Or Wall Street files for bankruptcy,
I want a chance for our children, and us
To live as well as it possibly can be.
