To me it seems so clear
That what ails us is external
A problem not of our creation
But a consequence that we live in.
To me it seems so clear
But as I can’t communicate
This vision on to you
So your vision remains clouded.
Compensation is a spiteful word
That hides all sorts of ills
Exploitation is a powerful word
But it helps to pay the bills.
What will it take for you to realise?
They’ll rape you and then they’ll ask for thanks.
What will it take to save us?
What will it take to save us?
Burning time, burning shame,
Burning health, burning pain
Burning sex, burning life
Burning hope and happiness.
