Amel Larrieux - Sacred lyrics

rate me

Is there nothing sacred anymore

When

Celebrities are deified

And we're still calling some countries third world

And

Crimes against little ones

Are punished with little laws

And

Girls are taught to hide their curves

As though they're flaws

And other girls are taught to expose them but not own

Them and

Boys are taught

They can own it all

Is there nothing sacred anymore

In the 21st century

And I still get followed 'round in stores

And

Governments are using our money for

Reasons other than what they say they're using it for

And

Small countries fold as their

Big debt keeps on growing and

Silent pain is golden under the guise of religion and

Boys are taught

They can own it all

Is there nothing sacred anymore

Well maybe there never was, at all
