intro; Am C G E Am C G E
have you been to the desert?
have you walked with the dead?
there's a hundred thousand children being killed for their bread
and the figures don't lie they speak of human disease
but we do what we want and we think what we please
have you lived the experience?
have you witnessed the plague?
people making babies sometimes just to escape
in this land of competition the compassion is gone
yet we ignore the needy and we keep pushing on
we keep pushing on
this is just a punk rock song
written for the people who can see something's wrong
like ants in a colony we do our share
but there's so many other fuckin' insects out there
( E)
and this is just a punk rock song
Have You Visited The Quagmire? Have you swum in the shit?
The party conventions and the relapolitik
the faces always different, the retoric the same
but we swallow it all and we see nothing change
nothing has change
T HIS IS JUST A PUNK ROCK SONG
written from the people who can see something’s wrong
like workers in a company we do our share
but there’s so many fuckin’ robots out there
and this is just a punk rock song!
solo(Am C G E Am C G E Am C G E Am C G E)
10 million dollars on a losing campaign
20 million starving and writhing in pain
big strong people unwilling to give
small in vision and perspective
one in five kids below the poverty line
one population runnin' out of time
Runnin’ out time
Thisisjust a punk ROCK SONG…….AND THIS IS JUST A PUNK ROCK SONG
FIGURES don’t lie they speak of human disease
but we do what we want and we think what we please
ONE FIVE KIDS BLOW THE POWERTY LINE
ONE POPULATION RUNNIN’ OUT OF TIME
this is just a punk rock song this is just a punk rock song
this is just a punk rock song
