Punk Rock Song

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

Yeah, we ignore the needy, and we keep pushing on

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 fucking insects out there

And this is just a punk rock song

Have you visited the quagmire? Have you swam in the shit?

The party convention and the real politik

The face is always different, the rhetoric the same

But we swallow it all, and we'll see nothing change

Nothing has changed

This is just a punk rock song

Written for the people who can see something's wrong

Like workers in a factory, we do our share

But there's so many other fuckin' robots out there

And this is just a punk rock song

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 running out of time

Running out of time

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 fucking insects out there

And this is just a punk rock song

The figures don't lie, they speak of human disease

But we do what we want and we think what we please

One in five kids below the poverty line

One population running out of time

This is just a punk rock song

This is just a punk rock song

This is just a punk rock song
