Well-Known News
it's evening another day has gone
another day of war and harm and fear
some suffer but our closing time goes on
they have no food and we stay drinking beer
it's evening we sit and watch tv
here's peace and wealth poverty there
but we are still pretending we don't see
the world burns on and we don't care
it's evening and everything like anytime
some suffer some get rich and some will die
and our ignorance again commits a crime
we're turning up the sound so we don't hear them cry
it's evening the night is filled with sorrow
today was party - what will be tomorrow?
