Thousands of people died today

Anonymous, just went away

No-one noticed, no-one cared

Desensitised, our feelings spared

A face in the crowd (Just stuff)

Disappears

A needle in the hay

Only the famous are ever missed

And eulogised by journalists

The eyes of the world don't see specks

Cause they ain't nothin' - only next

A face in the crowd (Just stuff)

Disappears

A needle in the hay

Fighting wars, boys blown away

Picnics, parties on Memorial Day

Starvation, famine never stops

Farmers paid not to grow crops

Bag lady dead upon the street

Step over her, don't miss a beat

Under the big top it don't rain

We shield ourselves from death and pain

Thousands of people died today

No-one noticed, no-one cared

Only the famous are ever missed

And eulogised by journalists

The eyes of the world don't see specks

Cause they ain't nothin' - only next

A face in the crowd disappears

The needle in the hay

The eyes of the world, they don't see specks

Cause they ain't nothin' - only next
