Whatever happened to the lives we had? It was easy keeping people fed But now they cry There has to be a change Whatever happened to the virgin land? Now we're left with barely space to stand The time has come To open up our eyes And if everyone Simply learns from the things we've done Before there's no place to run...you know Every man wants to sleep at night He wants to feel secure and It's still the same for every man Every man must be prepared to fight Now that we understand it Let's make it safe for every man
People standing in a welfare line Don't they know it's a waste of time They can't survive Left hungry in the cold How much longer can we make believe That the air is really fit to breathe? We can't sit by And watch our futures fold Have we lost our souls? Are we digging a deeper hole? Then it's time that we took control, you know Every man wants to sleep at night He wants to feel secure and It's still the same for every man Every man must be prepared to fight Now that we understand it Let's make it safe for every man
