Punk Rock Song

Have you been to the desert? Have you walked with the dead? There's a hundred thousand children being killed for their bread And the figures don't lie they speak of human disease But we do what we want and we think what we please Have you lived the experience? Have you witnessed the plague? People making babies sometimes just to escape In this land of competition the compassion is gone Yet we ignore the needy and we keep pushing on Keep pushing on This is just a punk rock song Written for the people who can see something's wrong Like ants in a colony we do our share But there's so many other fuckin' insects out there And this is just a punk rock song Have you visited the quagmire? Have you swam in the shit? The party convention and the real politic The faces always different, the rhetoric the same But we swallow it all, and we see nothing change Nothing has changed This is just a punk rock song Written for the people who can see something's wrong Like workers in a factory we do our share But there's so many other fuckin' robots out there And this is just a punk rock song Ten million dollars on a losing campaign Twenty million starving and writhing in pain Big strong people unwilling to give Small in vision and perspective One in five kids below the poverty line One population runnin' out of time Runnin' out of time This is just a punk rock song Written for the people who can see something's wrong Like ants in a colony we do our share But there's so many other fuckin' insects out there And this is just a punk rock song These figures don't lie they speak of human disease But we do what we want and we think what we please One in five kids below the poverty line One population runnin' out of time This is just a punk rock song This is just a punk rock song This is just a punk rock song
