The headlines today
I cried my eyes out when I read
He got a bullet in his head
Why did they not take him away?
I do not know
Maybe he had to go
I looked at the photograph
There was blood on the ground
50 dead and 20 found
I gave a small nervous laugh
A soldier held a gun in his hand
Fought for his country and his land
Though he could barely stand...
The headlines today
Politics fight to earn their place
Like they mattered in this never-ending space
What makes them say?
All the things they say and do
All the people they kill, physically and mentally too
They keep a straight face
They only care about their race
Competition rules the penthouse
But they put the middle-class in the streets
They kill the old and new
Nothing left for the few
And I'm left in the street to dieā¦
(Nobody cares) if it's wrong or right
(Nobody cares) if you live or die
(Nobody cares) if it's darkness or light
(Nobody cares) if you know or don't know why
(Nobody cares) if you want it or not
(Nobody cares) if you get it in the end
(Nobody cares) that nobody cares
(Nobody cares) anymore
(Nobody cares) if you kill a moth
(Nobody cares) if you hurt yourself
(Nobody cares) that nobody cares
But somebody cares that somebody stares
(Everybody cares) when you're on their territory
(Everybody cares) when you take their cash
(Everybody cares) if you know not enough
(Everybody cares) if you know too much
