Sacred - Amel Larrieux

Is there nothing sacred anymore

When celebrities are deified

And we're still calling some countries third world

And crimes against little ones

Are punished with little laws

And girls are taught to hide their curves

As though they're flaws

And other girls are taught to expose them

But not own them

And boys are taught they can own it all

Is there nothing sacred anymore

In the 21st century

And I still get followed 'round in stores

And governments are using our money for

Reasons other than what they say they're using it for

And small countries fold as their

Big debt keeps on growing and

Silent pain is golden under the guise of religion

And boys are taught they can own it all

Is there nothing sacred anymore

Well maybe there never was at all
