Sick Of It All - Just Look Around lyrics

rate me

The question they keep asking me

how can one so young be so bitter and angry

well, the answer is plain to see

maybe if they wern't so blind they'd see what i see

i see the homeless livin' out on the street

on every corner they're asking for money

i try to help them whenever i can

but sometimes i can't afford to help myself

i see diseases and modern plagues of our times

the greed of our leaders has made them blind

to our problems

they spend millions overseas,

people right here are fightin' wars everyday

I see the whites that hate the blacks

blacks against the jews, race against religion

and the're all too blind to see

When we fight each other it puts all of them at ease

it keeps us so busy, so they can do what they please

election time comes and they're out for votes

that's when you see and hear from them the most

this is what they're calling a democracy

that's just another word for hypocrisy

we keep fallin' for the bait

when we realize, it's always too late

I see the whites that hate the blacks

blacks that hate the jews, brother against brother

and they're all to blind to see

As the rich get richer, the poor goin' hungry

i've seen the toll it takes on the workingman's family

education system that's obsolete

can't hold a kid's interest or keep 'em off the street

see a father's fear, hear a mother's cry

what kind of a nation lets their children die

government's corrupt and full of red tape

then you're gonna ask me why i hate

Why don't you open up your eyes so you can see

open up your ears so you can hear

take a look around and you will find

take a look around and you will find out why
