lyrics

I’m flying, still trying, still dreaming of dying, denying the world
They’re starving, but loving, not judging the silence; they’re quite and choose not to scream

Until every human being on every continent has access to food and shelter…
…The basic right to live

Shut your eyes, because the sight is so disturbing
Hold your breath because we’re all going to drown in the flood
Cover your mouth so you don’t breath in the disease; It infects my whole reality
Shut your eyes or you will lose your vision; Hold your breath because we’re all going under
The monsoon will destroy the village; as I watch my brother die in poverty

Dropped down from the sky in a wooden crate - the relief that they sent was a little too late
Try to find a means to survive (and so now how can we live?)
Ration what we have to stay alive (so we will wake to see tomorrow…)

So learn how to differentiate between your wants and your needs
Learn how to draw the line between your rights and luxury
Learn the difference between motivation and greed
…We’ve got six billion hungry mouths to feed

It’s a disgrace how we progress everyday - When the technology that can save us all
Is in the hands of the corporate elite - Monopolising cures for infectious diseases
So why on Earth do people starve? - When we have the means to save the world
Who will lead the way for us? - When is the time to day “I’ve had enough”?

Dropped down from the sky in a wooden crate - (keep me alive, I want to survive)
The relief thst they sent was too little too late (inanition, I’m bleeding, malnutrition –I’m dying)
Try to find a means to get by - (so now how can we live?)
Ration what we have to stay alive - (so we can rise to see tomorrow)

We will not forget about the bitter taste of the lack of choice that forced us to be in this place
We will not forget about the bitter taste of the lack of choice that forced us to be in this place

Until you learn how to differentiate between your wants and your needs
Learn how to draw the line between what’s a right and what’s a luxury
Learn the difference between motivation and greed
We’ve got six billion mouths to feed (and counting!)
So learn how to differentiate between our wants and our needs
Learn how to draw the line between what’a a right and a luxury
Learn the difference between competition and greed
We’ve got six billion mouths to feed!

All hail to the crash - Malthusian population, still ever growing
Push us back right to the past - As we grow, as we eat, as we starve we still find ways to
Continue this life – continue this life, unsustainable cycle
But we can’t even protect – can’t protect the health of our fellow human brother
All hail to the crash - Malthusian population, still ever growing
Push us right back – back, right to the past
As we grow, as we eat, as we starve we still find ways to
Continue this life –this circle, unsustainable cycle
But we can’t even protect – can’t protect the health of our fellow brothers
