Have you been to the desert

Have you walked with the dead

There's a hundred thousand children being killed for their bread

And the figures don't lie they speak of human disease

But we do what we want and we think what we please

Have you lived the experience

Have you witnessed the plague

People making babies sometimes just to escape

In this land of competition the compassion is gone

Yet we ignore the needy and we keep pushing on

We keep pushing on

This is just a punk rock song

Written for the people who can see something's wrong

Like ants in a colony we do our share

But there's so many other f**kin' insects out there

And this is just a punk rock song

Like workers in a company we do our share

But there's so many other f**kin' robots out there

Have you visited the quagmire

Have you swam in the s**t

The party conventions and the real politic

The faces always different the rhetoric the same

But we swallow it and we see nothing change

Nothing has changed

10 million dollars on a losing campaign

20 million starving and writhing in pain

Big strong people unwilling to give

Small in vision and perspective

One in five kids below the poverty line

One population runnin' out of time
