[Intro]
We've got a twenty-first century famine,
We've got a twenty-first century famine,
We've got a twenty-first century famine,
Can you believe it? Will you take it or leave it?

[Verse]
Enjoy your coffee in your comfy chair,
You see it on TV, does it make you care?
As long as you're here and they're there,
You'll be okay, we'll be okay.

What children are murdered in Palestine?
What would you do if they werе yours or mine?
Is it genocide to wipе out their kind?
I wonder, do you wonder?

[Chorus]
We got war after war, but nobody wins,
The poor feed the poor, while the rich man sins,
And freedom's cry gets lost in the wind,
It's blown away, they blow it away.

[Verse]
We've got millions starving in Africa, while rich men who steal their oil,
Life is not as valuable as the darkness neath the soil,
Human rights, they have a price most cannot afford,
If you can pay, hell you'll be okay, if not you'll be ignored.

Don't you resist or you don't exist from Iraq to Nigeria, it goes on and on.
Is there anyone listening to the words of this song,
In your fluffy slippers and your satin robe?
Aren't you lucky you were born on this side of the globe?
Aren't you lucky? Do you feel lucky?

[Chorus]
We got war after war, but nobody wins,
The poor feed the poor, while the rich man sins,
And freedom's cry gets lost in the wind,
It's blown away, they blow it away.

[Verse]
It's a game of chess but we're not even pawns,
For the kings and the queens want no feudums,
Heresy is going quite well, they'll all know each other when they met up in hell,
Maybe they'll think or share a drink.

If Israel has nukes, then why not Iran?
Is a Muslim less equal than a Jewish man?
As for the Christians and their forgiveness of sins,
There's hardly been a war they haven't been in
It's crazy, it's all crazy.

[Chorus]
We got war after war, but nobody wins,
The poor feed the poor, while the rich man sins,
And freedom's cry gets lost in the wind,
It's blown away, they blow it away.

[Chorus]
We got war after war, but nobody wins,
The poor feed the poor, while the rich man sins,
And freedom's cry gets lost in the wind,
It's blown away, they blow it away.

[Outro]
We've got a twenty-first century famine,
We've got a twenty-first century famine,
We've got a twenty-first century famine,
Can you believe it? Will you take it or leave it?

We've got a twenty-first century famine,
We've got a twenty-first century famine,
We've got a twenty-first century famine,
Can you believe it? Will you take it or leave it?
Can you believe it? Will you take it or leave it?
