[Verse 1]
We have to solve this problem, it's all out of hand
Feedin' starvin' children all across the land
It's a luxury to us, to eat what we may
But they might just get a meal one time a day
We need the help from every man, woman, boy and girl
Stop the starvation and feed the world
[Hook]
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
[Verse 2]
None of this is fiction, this is actual fact
They can't eat or afford to put clothes on their back
That's why we're out on this here mission
To try to stop the famine and the malnutrition
All you really have to do is put in your share
Make contributions by UNICEF or [?] care
So a lot of these little young children can live
It's the thought that counts, not how much you give!
[Hook]
We gotta feed the world
We gotta feed the world
We gotta feed the world
[Verse 3]
In situations like this you must examine
How it got so bad that it led to famine
In the summer it's hot, they don't wear hats
They be makin' shish kebabs out of dogs and cats
They'll be thankful that they get it and they won't ask how
The snack you have between your meals they would call that chow
[Hook]
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
[Verse 4]
You come and go to the store any time you please
Like caviar to us, to them it's turkey and cheese
Won't you show you have compassion and give them a start?
And show them you have goodness deep inside of your heart
You say you can't afford it won't you give me a brake
They never heard of Mickey D's let alone a steak
Hawk your diamond ring or maybe a pearl
Make the sacrifice just to feed the world
[Hook]
We gotta feed the world
We gotta feed the world
We gotta feed the world
[Verse 5]
I don't see what's the problem, let's all face facts
Every dime you donate comes back in tax
You have to see to it when it's time to file
What's a small wait compared to helpin' a child?
If you ask my opinion I don't see nothin' wrong
Sendin' in a small donation's more than singing the song
[Hook]
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
[Verse 6]
All they ever eat is soup made from wheat and barley
They would go crazy over Beefsteak Charlie's
How can you watch TV and not even care?
Sit back at laugh at all and you're a millionaire
If you can't part with a dollar you're dealin' with lust
They can't do it all alone, they need help from us
I know it's all about money and buildin' your wealth
Stop being so stingy and thinking of self
[Hook]
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
[Verse 7]
Instead of going downtown and makin' a deposit
On something that looks good in your closet
Think of someone else and be evenly fair
Instead of buying something that you know that you won't wear
They need help from everybody so someday they'll be grown
Won't you all pitch in a hand 'cause I can't do it alone?
[Hook]
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
[Verse 8]
They'll be glad to say thanks without hesitation
Be courteous enough to show appreciation
It will bring out some emotion that you just can't hide
If you don't show it face you'll [?] feel it inside
It's not much more I can say, I'm feeling fine
Because I got it off my chest and it's out of my mind
You should have got my message if you think that you're smart
Well head in this one direction 'cause we're climbing the chart
[Hook]
