Just Look Around

In a nation under God, individual
In a nation under God, individual with liberty
In a nation under God, individual with liberty, justice for all
In a nation under God

The question they keep askin' me
How can one so young be so bitter an' angry?
Well, the answer is plain to see
Maybe if they weren't so blind, they'd see what I see

I see the homeless livin' out on the street
On every corner they're askin' for money
I try to help them whenever I can
But sometimes I can't afford to help myself

I see diseases, modern plagues of our times
The greed of our leaders has made them blind
To our problems, spend millions overseas
People right here are fightin' wars everyday

I see the whites that hate the blacks
Blacks against the Jews
Race against religion
An' they're all too blind to see

I see the homeless man beggin', he's got half a leg an'
He used to be a soldier, the sign that he's holdin'
Says, Times are hard, can you please keep me down?
Before you turn your back, just take a look around

When we fight each other it puts all of them at ease
It keeps us so busy, so they can do what they please
Election time comes an' they're out for votes
That's when you see an' hear from them the most

This is what they're callin' a 'Democracy'
That's just another word for 'Hypocrisy'
We keep fallin' for the bait
An' when we realize, it's always too late

I see the whites that hate the blacks
Blacks that hate the Jews
Brother against brother
An' they're all too blind to see

So why don't you open up your eyes, so you can see?
Open up your ears, so you can hear
Open up your ears, so you can hear
Open up your ears

An' you know as the rich get richer, the poor goin' hungry
I've seen the toll it takes on the working man's family
Education system that's obsolete
Can't hold a kid's interest or keep 'em off the streets

See a father's fear, hear a mother's cry
What kind of a nation lets their children die?
Government's corrupt an' full of red tape
Then you're gonna ask me why I hate

Why don't you open up your eyes, so you can see?
Open up your ears, so you can hear
Take a look around an' you will find
Take a look around an' you will find out why

I'm sick of it all
Said, I'm sick of it all
You know, I'm sick of it all
Yeah, I'm sick of it all

Yeah, I'm sick of it all
Yeah, I'm sick of it all
Yeah, I'm sick of it all
You know I'm sick of it all
An' all an' all
