Many fled to Zaire for the fear of being killed in the vicious, 

Bloody civil war that took half a million lives

Over two milion refugees pile into neighboring countries towns

Hoping to escape their deaths but this is what they found

Bodies stacked in massive piles and mass graves overflowing

As the cholera camps are waiting for the aid to finally come

The Rwandan refugees are dying by the thousands every day

While clean water needed to preserve life is supposedly on it's way

Too little,  too late

We are all responsible for the third world we create 

Now we try to help these people but we're too fucking late 

Too little, too late

We control the third world's fate 

Our high standard of living contributes to their deaths 

And the truth behind the bloodshed is what our government protects

But the fault is also ours because we're killing with our greed

For our material possessions we confuse our wants with need

The companies and the media promote these capitalist views, 

Praising the American way of life, never asking at whose expense

So if you think we're helping then you're really fucking blind 

Because we're after special interests and the rest we leave behind

Too little,  too late

We are all responsible for the third world we create 

Now we try to help these people but we're too fucking late 

Too little, too late

We control the third world's fate

Haitian and Cuban refugees try to find a better life only to be denied

Entry to the United States because our government doesn't deem it necessary 

To help our fellow man, so if they can't make us money 

They don't want them in our land

Panama and Nicaragua were some to receive our "aid", 

So what kind of difference did we make beside the loss of lives?

And how is life in BOSNIA? Did the problems disapear?

And what about Rwanda is their water now crystal clear?

Too little,  too late

We are all responsible for the third world we create 

Now we try to help these people but we're too fucking late 

Too little, too late

We control the third world's fate
