Nobody Cared
They're leveling cities with bombs
For we are the righteous they said,
Tell that to a family in mourning
As they weep as they bury their dead.
On TV we see people starving
We sit, with plenty to spare
We don't look, we just change the channel
Is there anyone out there who cares.
Our oceans are choking with plastic
There's pollution poisoning the air,
It goes on, ad infinitum
Is there anyone out there who cares.
One day the earth will be barren
A rock, all lifeless and bare,
There was a time when we could have saved it,
But there was nobody out there who cared.
