Lyrics:
The West does its best
for in the crisis there's no rest
another worlds just dying
its all divided
The people in society
live in their own reality
money will roll
the cash will flow
and no one thinks of poverty
the fear for cash that's getting less
that makes the countries one big mess
its in your head
that's kind of sad
when welfare is a lucky guess
now Marvin's really starving
you just heard on the radio
you put your fingers in your ears
shouting: no!
Refr:
Just tell me what do you see
When will we succeed in equality
Bitter hope
No one knows what's going on
economy is not that strong
the mighty west
that's getting less
yeah Wall street fears what's really wrong
The spending fear is all around
frozen on the bank account
the horror feeds
but they can eat
the hunger is a different sound
The little child is crying
no food but illness he will see
a whole country is dying
lucky we!
Refr:
Just tell me what do you see
When will we succeed in equality
Bitter hope
Now, what do you feel
what do you not see
for all its worth
Yeah, what do you feel
don't you feel lucky
of your place of birth
tell it to the mother
her hands covered in dirt
her son just died of hunger
she gave him back to earth
Refr:
just tell me what do you see
When will we succeed in equality
Bitter hope
