world citizen (long version)

There goes one baby's life
　　It's such a small amount
　　She's un-American
　　I guess it doesn't count
　　
　　Six thousand children's lives
　　Were simply thrown away
　　Lost without medicine
　　Inside of thirty days
　　
　　In the New York harbour
　　Where the stocks withheld
　　It was the price we paid
　　For a safer world
　　
　　World is suffering
　　World is suffering
　　World is suffering
　　World Citizen
　　
　　In Madhya Pradesh
　　Where they're building dams
　　They're displacing native people
　　From their homes and lands
　　
　　So they hunger strike
　　Cos they believe they count
　　To lose a single life
　　Is such a small amount
　　
　　In the name of progress
　　And democracy
　　The concepts represented in name only
　　
　　His world is suffering
　　Her world is suffering
　　Their world is suffering
　　World Citizen
　　
　　World Citizen
　　World Citizen
　　
　　And the buildings fall
　　In a cloud of dust
　　And we ask ourselves
　　How could they hate us?
　　Well, when we live in ignorance and luxury
　　While our super powers practice
　　Puppet mastery
　　
　　We raise the men
　　Who run the fascist states
　　And we sell them arms
　　So they maintain their place
　　
　　We turn our backs
　　On the things they done
　　Their human rights record
　　And the guns they run
　　
　　His world is suffering
　　Her world is suffering
　　Their world is suffering
　　World Citizen
　　
　　My world is suffering
　　Your world is suffering
　　Our world is suffering
　　World Citizen
　　
　　Who'll do away with flags
　　Who'll do us proud
　　Remove the money from their pockets, scream dissent out loud
　　
　　Cos God ain't on our side
　　The shoe won't fit
　　And though they think the war is won
　　That's not the last of it
　　
　　Disenfranchised people
　　Need their voices heard
　　And if no one stops to listen
　　Lose their faith in words
　　
　　And violence rises
　　When all hope is lost
　　Who'll embrase the human spirit
　　And absorb the cost?
　　
　　Not one life is taken
　　In my name
　　In my name
　　
　　His world is suffering
　　Her world is suffering
　　Their world is suffering
　　World Citizen
　　
　　My world is suffering
　　Your world is suffering
　　Our world is suffering
　　World Citizen
