Take a close look at the shape we're in
Can you tell the losers from those who'll win?
In a world where the strong point their guns at the weak,
where killer cats and shivering mice play hide and seek
 
They show it every night on TV
but what do we do about the things we see?
Switch to another channel and watch women warriors fight,
in a game show where we don'thave to worry
about who's wrong or right
 
While poor people are roaming the streets
of war demolished ghost towns,
their dream of peace got turned around
Poor people with eyes full of fear,
aint got nothing more to say, just taking it day by day
 
There must be a way to make some sense,
instead of using all this violence
Or is this madness something that we got from the start
and all we can do is sit backand watch it tear our world apart
 
While poor people are roaming the streets
of war demolished ghost towns,
their dream of peace got turned around
Poor people with eyes full of fear,
aint got nothing more to say, just taking it day by day
 
Tell me why we chose the road of disrespect and shame
How many more lifes willit take to stop this evil game?
 
Still poor people are roaming the streets
of war demolished ghost towns,
their dream of peace got turned around
Poor people with eyes full of fear,
aint got nothing more to say, just taking it day by day
