Saw a picture in the 'paper
Don't always like what I see
Just a boy at the window
Selling his body
Oh no!
Oh no!
Heard these words written somewhere
Nothing new under the sun
Trying to create a brave new world
Will be just like the old one
Why are we surprised
When we're assaulted on the out and on the inside?
Why are we surpised
When the tears well up?
All we like children are out there
Somebody said the broken bottles cut our feet
A glance now taken of another time
When will I be complete?
Please complete me
Everyone looking for something
Nobody like's to say they are
Trying to fill this cross-shaped hole in the heart
Alone how do we think we'll start?
Why are we surprised
When we're assaulted on the out and on the inside?
Why are we surpised
When the tears well up?
Yeah!
Heh! Heh!
Yeah!
It's not Africa I'm talking about
It's not hunger
It's not Africa
It's right here in our own backyard
The famine of the soul
Why are we surprised
When we're assaulted on the out and on the inside?
Why are we surprised
When the tears well up?
Yeah!
Heh! Heh!
Yeah!
It's not Africa I'm talking about
It's not hunger
It's not Africa
It's right here in our own backyard
The famine of the soul
Why are we surprised?
When we're assaulted on the out and on the inside?
Why are we surprised?
When the tears well up?
