Have you been to the desert? Have you walked with the dead? There's a hundred thousand children being killed for their bread And the figures don't lie, they speak of human disease But we do what we want and we think what we please Have you lived the experience? Have you witnessed the plague? People making babies sometimes just to escape In this land of competition the compassion is gone Yet we ignore the needy and we keep pushing on We keep pushing on This is just a punk rock song Written for the people who can see something's wrong Like ants in a colony we do our share But there's so many other fuckin' insects out there And this is just a punk, rock, song! Have you visited the graveyard? Have you swam in the shit? The party conventions and the real politic The faces always different, the rhetoric the same But we swallow it all, and we see nothing change Nothing has changed... This is just a punk rock song Written for the people who can see something's wrong Like workers in a factory we do our share But there's so many other fuckin' robots out there And this is just a punk, rock, song! 10 million dollars on a losing campaign 20 million starving and writhing in pain Big strong people unwilling to give Small in vision and perspective One in five kids below the poverty line One population runnin' out of time, running out of time! This is just a punk rock song Written for the people who can see something's wrong Like ants in a colony we do our share But there's so many other fuckin' insects out there And this is just a punk, rock, song! The figures don't lie, they speak of human disease But we do what we want and we think what we please One in five kids below the poverty line One population runnin' out of time! This is just a punk rock song, This is just a punk rock song, This is just a punk, rock, song!
