Destruction!
Reluctance
We fail to see
Can't see the light
I heard the news
And it's no surprise
There's a moment of sadness
Another brother died
By the hands of the culture
Or one of his own
Children having babies
Before they're fully grown
How long?
(How long will it carry on?)
Tell me, how long?
(How long will it be this way?)
Oh-oh-oh, wait a minute!
I read the news once more
It's the same ol' story
People out of work
Can't get no money
And they say it can't
Buy you everything
But no-one's giving
Giving anything for free
