Have we forgotten how to care
And how to give a ****
Our people go without
There's hunger in our land
The haves have excessively much
And hold on to it tight
The have-nots have so little
That they can’t afford to fight
The winds of change are blowing cold
On humanity's naked face
We just blew 800 billion dollars
To bail out problematic banks
Watch as children starve
A lack of interest takes the stage
Women still lack equality
Another black man killed today
But we can't afford such mercy
'Cause were financing another war
Have we forgotten how to care
And what this life is for?
