Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Have you been to the desert, have you walked with the dead?

 There's a hundred thousand children being killed for their bread

 And the figures don't lie they speak of human disease

 But we do what we want and we think what we please

 Have you lived the experience, Have you witnessed the plague?

People making babies sometimes just to escape

 In this land of competition the compassion is gone

 Yet we ignore the needy and we keep pushing on

Keep pushing on

This is just a punk rock song

Written for the people who can see something's wrong

 Like ants in a colony we do our share

 But there's so many other fuckin' insects out there

This is just a punk rock song

(continue w/ lyrics)

Have you visited the quagmire, have you swam in the shit?

The party conventions and the real politik

The faces always different, the rhetoric the same

But we swallow it all and we see nothing changed

Nothing has changed

This is just a punk rock song

Written for the people who can see something's wrong

Like workers in a factory, we do our share

But there's so many other fucking robots out there

This is just a punk rock song

10 million dollars on a losing campaign

20 million starving and writhing in pain

Big strong people unwilling to give

Small in vision and perspective

One in five kids below the poverty line

One population runnin' out of time

Runnin' outta time

This is just a punk rock song

Written for the people who can see something's wrong

Like ants in a colony, we do our share

But there's so many other fucking insects out there

This is just a punk rock song
