Do you ever get that feeling
  When the guilt begins to hurt?
  Seeing all the children
  Wallowing in dirt
  Crying out with hunger
  Crying out in pain
  At least the dirt will wash off
  When it starts to rain
  Soap won't wash away your shame
    Do you ever get the feeling
  That something isn't right?
  Seeing your brother's fist
  Clenched ready for the fight
  Soon the fighting turns to weapons
  And the weapons turn to wounds
  So the doctor's start to stitch and stitch and stitch
  And stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch
  Surgery won't improve your pain
    It all seems so stupid
  It makes me want to give up
  But why should I give up
  When it all seems so stupid?
    Do you ever get the feeling
  That something can't be done?
  To eradicate these problems
  That make the people want
  Do you ever get that feeling
  Something like an like an itch?
  But oh, how the doctors stitch and stitch
  And stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch
  Hope alone won't remove the stains
  Shame
    It all seems so stupid
  It makes me want to five up
  But why should I give up
  When it all seems so stupid?
