Gifts Lyrics

There's an imbalance with grave consequence

In this world, it doesn't make much fucking sense

We take from the poor just to give the rich more

The abuse that we've caused can't be ignored anymore

What's the point in lying? There's no use denying

It's not that we can't help them, we're not even trying

We spend more on soldiers, following orders

But there'd be no war if we'd forget our borders

So why, with all the gifts we have, are there still ones who cry?Humanifesto - Gifts - http://motolyrics.com/humanifesto/gifts-lyrics.html

What do we really have when half the world is living in shanty towns

And barely living day to day?

There's still 41, 000 children starving every single day

Ahmet's never learned to read, books and schools are things he just cannot afford

While Michael's crying because cable's out and he's missing his favorite show

And while the people in the US scream the cost of oil is too fucking high

In the Middle East they're dying

There's still 41, 000 children dying every single day.
