For the Masses

Do you ever get that feeling
When the guilt begins to hurt
Seeing all the children
Wallowing in dirt
Crying out with hunger
Crying out in pain
At least the dirt will wash off
When it starts to rain


Soap won't wash away your shame


Do you ever get that feeling
That something isn't right
Seeing your brother's fists
Clenched ready for the fight
Soon the fighting turns to weapons
And the weapons turn to wounds
So the doctors stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch


Surgery won't improve your pain


It all seems so stupid
It makes me want to give up
But why should I give up
When it all seems so stupid


Do you ever get the feeling
That something can be done
To eradicate these problems
And make the people one
Do you ever get that feeling
Something like a nagging itch
And all the while the doctors
Stitch and stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch


Hope alone won't remove the stains
Shame


It all seems so stupid
It makes me want to give up
But why should I give up
When it all seems so stupid
