Look at all these people lying around 
look at all these people being scraped right off the ground 
because of too many broken homes 
too many cardboard boxes 
too many people who just can't survive 
hard losses well americans don't belong in tins 
let's learn to help ourselves before we help the foreign 
wounded decay shout out dismay 
can you hear their voices yelling out mayday 
why are we sending money over seas 
look out your window our nation's the one that needs 
because there's not enough income 
there's too much poverty 
why must we lose more lives before our eyes will see 
we'll leave it alone hope it goes away 
its hard to ignore life when you live it everyday 
I'd like to see I'd like to say I'd like to hear that help is on the way 
Here today where tomorrow? 
Death in the shadows 
affects us all 
too many bodies lie in the street 
too many hungry mouths that have the right to feed
