I remember at school there was always some fool   teaching us about the past   Pictures of kids, starving, eating out of bins   Man we all had to laugh   It's hard to believe we were told with relief   It couldn't happen now of course    It's easy to expound with your head in the ground    I've since learnt that and more      What is there to do I'm allright so are you   but outside there are TB streets   You can cry a lot say 'Oh! my God!'   but as an action it is incomplete   put money in the hands of those who understand   Give shelter of the roofless heads   It's hard to deny when you open your eyes   and listen to yourself instead      And you'll think you've gone crazy   but you hope it will pass   It's a sickening feeling maybe it won't last   It shouldn't be happening at this point in time   With these houses standing empty
