The reality of global economics
Is that some will go without
And we are amongst the fortunate ones -
You shouldn't have any doubt
Far away from the tabloid pages
People are forced to live in squalor -
Living each day from hand to mouth
Not daring to think of tomorrow
Out there, it's another peasant valley slum day
Back in exploitation land
We don't leave enough to make their ends meet
When will we start to understand?
If we want to make to make poverty history
We must tackle the excesses of greed
Where a minority have stockpiles of wealth
Far greater than anyone could need
Meanwhile, it's another peasant valley slum day
Back in exploitation land
We don't leave enough to make their ends meet
When will we start to understand?
