Deep inside the border
Children are crying
Fighting for food

Holding their heads
Breaking their bread with a stone


All along the roadside
people are standing
watching the sun

shielding their eyes
Brushing the flies from their face


Tell me, what can you say
Tell me, who do you blame
Like a mirror you see yourself

These people each have a name

All around the township

Young men are dying
(of) hunger and thirst
The well has run dry

The tears from her eye feeds her son

Tell me...


You can say you're pulling back
We see the pictures everywhere

But what we don't see is what's
Going on behind the closed doors
And you don't seem to care


Do you expect me to believe you
How can you really think

You can take your horse down to the water
Hold a gun at his head
And make him drink


No matter what you say, it never gets any better
No matter what you do, we never see any change


People living without rights
Without their dignity

How loud does one man have to shout
To earn his right to be free


You can keep your toy soldiers
To segregate the black and white
But when the dust settles

And the blood stops running
How do you sleep at night?


No matter what you say...

What makes you so high and mighty

What makes you so qualified
You can sit there and say
How many have their freedom

But how many more have died

You decide to sit in judgement

Trying to play God yourself
Someday soon the buck is gonna stop
Stop with you and noone else


No matter...
