Politicians trade blood for oil
No one cares
Nelly is on the telly
Popular music ensnares
Somewhere a kid is plotting a shooting spree
No one is aware
His parents are watching Joe Millionaire
Too entertained to care
War is on the horizon
But we're prepared
American economy is plummeting
Beyond repair
Drunk driving kills thousands every year
Everyone's aware
Smoking Marijuana is evil
Tree-hugers with long hair

This insanity is too much for me to bare
How can children suffer and die
And people not care?
Wear your jewelry and dance in Times Square
Why sweat the little things
When God answers your prayers.

Take hope here
War is elsewhere
Everyone else is just jealous
All of Iraq is evil
They want our Puff Daddy CDs
They want our BMWs
They want our Jennifer Lopez
They want the ice on our wrists
They want our televisions
They want our white-picket fences
They want our microwave ovens
They want our children as slaves
They want to bed our wives
They want our playstations
They want to be like Mike
They want to play basketball for the Lakers
They want our heads on stakes
They want us dead
Lets bomb their people
And force innocents to despair
The red, white, and blue flies high above
So no one cares

Lots to think about here...like what we care about and why.Thanks for speaking out and here's hoping it makes a difference.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...
