media is obsurd...don't you think
they only say whatever they think
what makes headlines...as long as it's good
you'll hear about in the evening news
the real news is grim and bleek
there's people starving in the street
look around and you will see
choas and mayhem
in your city
do you really care who's president of god knows where
or would you rather see who's dying here
it happens everyday...we don't seem to care
next time you see the news at night
remember we to...
have our own plight
read the paper...what do you see
third world countries in dispair
*** about here
do you think that....they...even care
i think not....its easy to see
if you take a life...
you make the news
if you help some one
you just amuse
back in nam...we were hero's
than the footage came back...and we were zero's
so next time you watch that reporter rant
think of you own hometown
and the devestation they can't....
