Humanifesto - South Famine lyrics
rate meWhen you wake up<br />
Will there be food today?<br />
Will the grain silo be full?<br />
Will it be as empty as your gut?<br />
<br />
When you get to the farm<br />
Work till the sun goes down<br />
Will you wonder where all the food goes?<br />
Will you be able to feed your kids?<br />
<br />
Will the farmers' grains<br />
We harvested today<br />
Wind up on your plates?<br />
Will it feed your country men?<br />
<br />
With thousands of children starving<br />
Why is your produce sold to rich nations?<br />
Why is the food your people need<br />
Winding up fed to cattle?<br />
<br />
When you wake up<br />
Will the first sound that you hear<br />
While stretching your arms be the sound of the bombs<br />
Wrecking the lands that you've sown?<br />
<br />
Will your children live<br />
With the threat of war every day?<br />
Will they live their lives always questioning why<br />
Weapons take precedence over people?<br />
<br />
When the sun sets<br />
Warmth fading slowly<br />
Will you fear for your life, all through the night<br />
Will you feel any better when the day breaks?<br />
<br />
Will the house that you built<br />
With your dad when you were young<br />
Withstand the bombardment of falling armaments?<br />
Walls hold more than memories.
