We wanted everything to be okay
To fit into boxes
Neat packages with ribbons and bows
We never expected to feel this way
Maybe we thought someone else would clean up


We screamed aloud for change
But we never did anything, we never did anything

We screamed so loud for change
But we never did anything, we never did anything

How could we dare to complain'
When we never did anything


We heard a problem that was far away
We read all the numbers
Pointed fingers and we placed the blame
She is hungry, she is so hungry
