Never knew but only hate us [?], and they never had happiness
Oh, oh, oh, if you dont have enough to eat, how can you think of love
You dont have the time to care so its crime youre guilty of, oh yeah

For Gods sake, why dont you give more power to the people

Cut this jive and see whos got the power to kill the most
