(*)[Hm]Do you ever get that feeling
   When the [A]guilt begins to [E]hurt?
   [Hm]Seeing all the children
   [A]Wallowing in [E]dirt
   [Hm]Crying out with hunger
   [A]Crying out in [E]pain
   [Hm]At least the dirt will wash off
   [A]When it starts to [E]rain

(**)[H]Soap won't wash [A]away your [H]shame

   Do you ever get the feeling
   That something isn't right?
   Seeing your brother's fist
   Clenched ready for the fight
   Soon the fighting turns to weapons
   And the weapons turn to wounds
   So the doctor's stitch and stitch and stitch
   And stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch

{comment: see (**)}
   Surgery won't improve your pain

{comment: see (*)}
   It all seems so stupid
   It makes me want to give up
   But why should I give up
   When it all seems so stupid?

{comment: see (*)}
   Do you ever get the feeling
   That something can't be done?
   To eradicate these problems
   And make the people one
   Do you ever get that feeling
   Something like a nagging itch?
   And all the while the doctors stitch
   And stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch

{comment: see (**)}
   Hope alone won't remove the stains (for shame)

{comment: see (*)}
   It all seems so stupid
   It makes me want to five up
   But why should I give up
   When it all seems so stupid?
