Dr Carrot - Sick World (The Nurture Effect) Lyrics

I see the sick, I see the well. I know we move from this to that
My planet is sick, and I want to help. It's lucky 'help' is all I've got
Yes. I am grateful that my children can safely walk to and from school
It makes me sad that to achieve that, we had to be so inhumanely cruel

By now, we've battled and we've injured and we don't trust each other more
And we protect ourselves with pictures of gods on coins and on notes
One must be feeling pretty scared to steal, betray, and make up fibs
Get billions and be prepared
Instead of building trust, care, love, and peace
Building a contest world - one triumphs one submits
Where we accept the deaths of starving kids

It hurts and we have medicated our aches with sugar, clothes, and tech
Work hard, our short lives dedicated to licking wounds. Leaving the globe a wreck
That's our past. Who tries to end this path-primrose? Yitzhak Rabin, RFK, and Tony Biglan did
John Lennon sang, and people chorused. Three of them murdered shot, so Tony has my bid

The Nurture Effect, go read it If you want solutions
The Nurture Effect, and it will all make sense
You want to change the world, but don't know substitution
The Nurture Effect, will orient your stance
Will give you perspective, and give us all a chance
When we worked together, we put men on the moon
Conceive a world of nurture, we'll build it with our hands
The Nurture Effect
