MISERY FOR FREE
Sun’s coming up and softly sets the mood
For this scene of a suburban neighborhood
Old bronzed ladies snoozing by the pool
Drinking sparkling wine to kill their boring mood
Hey, what do you feel?
In the lap of luxury
Hey, do you feel safe?
Living in a golden cage
Sun’s moving on and on it’s lovely way
Reaching now another place where no one wants to stay
Run-down buildings, distress and disease
No sanitary fittings, living without ease.
Hey, what do you feel?
In the lap of luxury
Hey, do you feel safe?
Living in a golden cage
Complacency kills humanity
Sells Misery for free
Instead of going to school they’re begging in the sand
Late night, coming home with nothing in their hands
Instead of charity earning mockery and scorn
Cursing the day they were born
Hey, you can feast
While these kids have nothing to eat
Hey, understand
That their life runs through their hands
Complacency kills humanity
Sells Misery for free |
