While the children are starving in the street We are sipping our fine champagne While a family hunts for food to eat the stock market goes insane Do we stop and wonder why what could be our alibi There are no rules in this game of fools we play Can we find ourselves a new vaccine Break the chain of apathy We need a dose of empathy right away It's a sin against yourself when you bow to someone else When you fail to see the truth right in front of your eyes Throwing fuel on the fire when you hail a false messiah If you choose to be blind it could make you lose your mind It's a sin to believe a lie It has taken its toll since the dawn of time and still there is no cure It's a sickness of a different kind and still there's no lesson learned There are heroes come and gone who never lived to sing their song It's nobody's friend in the end we all get burned Can we find ourselves a new vaccine Break the chain of apathy We need a dose of empathy right away It's a sin against yourself when you bow to someone else When you fail to see the truth right in front of your eyes Throwing fuel on the fire when you hail a false messiah If you choose to be blind it could make you lose your mind It's a sin to believe a lie Standing in the darkness Out of touch and heartless It's time to stop the bleeding We're deaf to what we're needing Needing, needing It's a sin against yourself when you bow to someone else When you fail to see the truth right in front of your eyes Throwing fuel on the fire when you hail a false messiah If you choose to be blind it could make you lose your mind It's a sin to believe a lie
