Whatever happened to human rights 
in the land of free, in the land of might 
at the end of the till an old man 
is filling up a paper bag 

'cause whatever age you're at 
some societies still make you fight 
no one there to support your sunset 
age don't bring no more respect 

how can you still believe 
that you can save the world 
you'd need humanity 
show us some, now can you 

in the land of free in the land of might 
in the land of fear in the land of might 

a black man hails a cab 
new york city is getting hot 
but not one will stop to pick him 
as if his colour were a sin 

and maybe i sound like 
some 60s' folk singer's come back 
singing human love is so naïve 
but have we learned a single thing
