Drowning and Smiling
Drowning and smiling
Rough life
Hopes dead
Who knows tommorow
Yet today isn't better
Hungry Belly
Tired body
Still hard laboured for just one dollar
The shortest biography of shame
And a never ending stories
Of the thirds world civilization
We deserve better
We need no more
Suffering and smiling
The world should rise together
Not apart
Drowning and smiling
Hungry yet smiling
Intimidated yet laughing
Robbed yet happy
Jailed yet thankful
Brutalized yet courageous
Killed yet faithful
Manipulated yet religious
Isolated yet uniting
Drowning yet smiling
The shortest biography of
the thirds world civilization
We deserve better
We need no more
Suffering and smiling
The world should rise together
Not apart
