Politics of Humanity

My blood runs cold when I think of the condition
Of human suffering and untold pain
The atrocities of war make my stomach turn
Falling tears on the earth like burning acid rain

Why has it been so long since anyone's noticed?
It's been so long since anyone's cared
We watch and wait as the world keeps turning
Hoping our greed won't consume us all

This world today is like a closed-in box
For those who have nothing but war-torn streets
Shine a ray of hope, a light into their lives
Look deep inside your heart, may they find their relief
Why has it

Why has it been so long since anyone's noticed?
It's been so long since anyone's cared
We watch and wait as the world keeps turning
Hoping our greed won't consume us all

Hate can never cease by hate in this world
And this I know so
I'm gonna give you these words
And I hope you'll listen to me
'Cause hate can never cease by hate in this world
In this world, no

Turn about the face and face the faces of death
In a place where men die of disease and starvation
Psycho warfare politicians tool
Won't let them pass the torch to a new generation

Why has it been so long since anyone's noticed?
It's been so long since anyone's cared
We watch and wait as the world keeps turning
Hoping our greed won't consume us all

Why has it been so long since anyone's noticed?
It's been so long since anyone's cared
We watch and wait as the world keeps turning
Hoping our greed won't consume us all

Why has it been so long?
