Lyrics
Oh world, why be so selective about human beings?
Oh world, why be so selective about human beings?
My people are crying while you laugh
My people are crying while you laugh
All you do is watch
All you do is watch
Oh world, why be so selective about countries?
Oh world, why be so selective about countries?
Yours are well built while ours are being destroyed
Yours are well built while ours are being destroyed.
Oh world, why be so selective about human beings?
Oh world, why be so selective about human beings?
My people are crying while you laugh
My people are crying while you laugh
All you do is watch
All you do is watch
All you do is watch.
It’s a lie, we were never free
It’s a lie, we were never free
What they write is not what they do
What they write is not what they do
Oh world, why be so selective about human beings?
Oh world, why be so selective about human beings?
My people are crying while you laugh
My people are crying while you laugh
All you do is watch
All you do is watch
All you do is watch
All you do is watch
All of our resources have been looted
All of our resources have been looted
Youth in pursuit of resources, weeping in dismay,
In the ocean's depths, they perish, while you watch
All you do is watch
All you do is watch
All you do is watch
All you do is watch.
Oh world, why be so selective about human beings?
Oh world, why be so selective about human beings?
My people are crying while you laugh
My people are crying while you laugh
All you do is watch
All you do is watch
All you do is watch
All you do is watch.

"By far the greatest wrong which the departing colonialists inflicted on us, and which we now continue to inflict on ourselves in our present state of disunity, was to leave us divided into economically unviable States which bear no possibility of real development...."

"Imperialism is a system of exploitation that occurs not only in the brutal form of those who come with guns to conquer territory. Imperialism often occurs in more subtle forms, a loan, food aid, blackmail . We are fighting this system that allows a handful of men on earth to rule all of humanity." ~ Thomas Sankara

[@alexeyageev6966]

If only those were at least decent men, brother

Шикарный трек! Каждый народ должен иметь свою Родину и иметь возможность пользоваться теми ресурсами, что дала им природа. А оккупантам - смерть.

[@joshuahensley9395]

Idk what your on about Justice just dropped a new album

[@markbaker8607]

I love. I thank you. Please only one request. I would love to hear the percussion with less use of a compressor in the studio. Just try for one song? Make the snare kick like life.

[@MightyConch]

“All you do is watch” hate to say it but people are too distracted to even have any idea what is going on.

[@coshyno]

I know right ? People never stop to think about thinking ! Too busy with the rat race chasing that money which never makes them happy..
