People are sick, and they are dying in their thousands
and he just went and bought his kids each new houses
he didn't spare a thought, perhaps he just didn't think
but either way humanity is on the brink

Of growing further apart, the rich from the poor
and no one seems to give it a second thought
nobody cares about all of the suffering
and that we could all fix if it we just did something

The world is out of balance and I just can't take it
all the ignorance and apathy this world is so fake
cause people just don't think and when they try to imagine
they can't or ignore it cause they're too lazy to take action

I feel sick when I see so much time and money spent
on the superficial stuff and people just get closer to death
when things go wrong it's out of sight out of mind
because no one gives a shit until it affects their life

And it feels so wrong because if I was honest
I wish I was one of those who's ignorance was the strongest
but once you realise that something is wrong
you have a responsibility that's why I wrote this song

To make people realize that if we have the means
it's our job to fix it not just wallow in our greed
we can all do better if we just stop and look
and see how easy it is to change the effort that we put

Into helping the diseased and the poverty struck
I think it's high time people started to give a fuck
but unless average people start to think they can help
things will stay the same and earth will continue to be hell

It's down to you and not to anybody else
because everybody thinks that it shouldn't be themselves
so please stop being selfish and start to do what you should
and die knowing that you did everything you could
