Where In The World |
Ready for your close-up in the wake of the disaster |
Callous, condescending claims the network newscaster |
That with crimes of compassion correspondents have crossed the line |
Hollywood elite and ex-presidents unite |
We all wear a somber face for the cameras tonight |
It’s only apropos when the bodies are piling high… |
What’s in it for us? |
is what the world bank asks |
When your country’s highest export is our lowest working class |
You know it’s not like common welfare is our raison d’etre |
You know we could have built those buildings out of real concrete |
Could have given them clean water and healthy food to eat |
But they looked over the numbers, saw no profit to be made… |
But where in the world was the world (before the big one came) |
Where in the world was the world (for disease and acid rain) |
Where in the world was the world (for the poisoned and the poor) |
Yeah where was the world when an ounce of prevention could have saved a pound |
of cure? |
So we turn a blind eye and the deafest of ears |
To the most poverty-stricken country in the western hemisphere |
Throwing money at the problem now, too little and too late |
Well you can’t blame fault lines for where they’ve fallen |
But from a humanist perspective man I find it appalling |
That indifference and neglect resigned these souls to their sad fates… |
Where was the world before it opened under |
Taking what was left of, all that we neglected? |
Where was the world before it opened under them? |
The Nation of compassion only when the world is watching |
Do we take any action, then we rally round' the blood |
