Madd Kapp - When the Children Cry lyrics

[Madd Kapp] This for the kids All the kids around the world that ain't got nuttin That got limited resources, limited education Limited everything! Sleepin on the ground in huts Y'knahmsayin, sleepin in alleyways Wonderin why the world don't want 'em My prayers go to the kids, I see the hurt and the pain We spend billions on the war but poverty remains And with poverty comes crime, the ball and the chain It's trickle down economics, only governments gain We'd rather spend on warfare, machine guns and ammo Flyin stealth bomb missions, bombin people on camels While the poor people fight over the simplest sh** It makes my heart hurt; pieces in this puzzle don't fit And when I watch TV and flies are swarmin on kids Over in Africa, tell me what the f** they did~! It only cost two dollars for a bag of some rice But I guess that's just too much to pay for a life You f**in ba*tards, bleed us all dry 'til we die We just numbers on a paper, bodies covered with lies So while you're sittin in your comfortable office, think about 'em Millions of people, buried shallow in f**in coffins [Chorus] Why do you stand by and watch the children cry? Can't you see the pain inside their eyes All they really want is a fightin chance Livin life as a victim or circumstance Goin to bed hungry without no food Or the proper education to make it through Not everybody in the world is as lucky as you I think it's time to make a change man, how 'bout you [Madd Kapp] Mr. President, let's have a debate, let's talk About the homeless situation in America boss You're a smart guy ain't you? Let me paint you a picture Families sleepin in cars in Congress is no issue I watch C-SPAN, the newslady looks so pretty But the news never is, overseas it's sh**ty Troops dyin~! American troops, the bravest of brave Who follow they orders, in the name of freedom of faith Look at this place, it's lookin similar to hell The devil is here, I can't feel him can't you tell? He's the government, settin us up and lovin it Laughin out loud at us, peace he's sellin it (I see you) I see you too motherf**er (Join me!) Not on your life you dick s**er I'm free, free as a bird, I got my wings God bless us, shelter our souls and make change [Chorus]
