PEOPLE DON'T WORRY



Death and destruction everywhere
People don't bother, people don't share
One war here, another war there
People don't worry, people don't care

Another war won, means another war lost
No matter what the human cost
Re-arm for the next battle, there's bound to be one
To kill even more folk with a bomb or a gun

They'll fight to the last, they won't lose face
Just ignoring the suffering all over the place
Not our problem, it's always theirs
Nobody worries now, nobody cares
