Lyrics
Disgrace
(0.01 - 1.24)
Babies with bellies swollen from hunger
Children alone, no fathers or mothers
Millions with no home or shelter
How did we ever get to this place ?
Nothing to drink but poisoned water
Parents surviving by selling their daughters
Teenagers armed and killing their neighbours
What is the future for the human race ?
Politicians squabbling over sanctions to take
Will they ever act or just procrastinate
Meanwhile there's more genocide taking place
Its time for taking action not for debate
We've got to help them out before its too late
How much longer can all of us afford.......... to wait
(1.25 - 2.25)
Palaces filled with riches and plunder
Leaders in luxury while their lands are pulled asunder
Talking the talk while their people are starving
How did we ever get to this place ?
Politicians squabbling over sanctions to take
Will they ever act or just procrastinate
Meanwhile there's more genocide taking place
Its time for taking action not just for debate
We've got to help them out before its too late
How much longer can all of us afford to wait
(2.26 - 2.49)
Sanctions don't work , they never have
The wrongdoers just sit back and laugh
Ignoring the UN , going their own way
Is anybody going to stop this disgrace
(2.50 - 3.14)
Politicians squabbling over sanctions to take
Will they ever act or just procrastinate
Meanwhile there's more genocide taking place
Its time for taking action not just for debate
We've got to help them out before its too late
How much longer can all of us afford to wait
Its time for taking action not just for debate
We've got to help them out before its too late
How much longer can all of us afford to wait
