Lyric Shelter

I remember at school there was always some fool
teaching us about the past
Pictures of kids, starving, eating out of bins
Man we all had to laugh
It s hard to believe we were told with relief
It couldn t happen now of course
It s easy to expound with your head in the ground
I ve since learnt that and more

What is there to do I m allright so are you
but outside there are TB streets
You can cry a lot say ¡®Oh! my God!
but as an action it is incomplete
put money in the hands of those who understand
Give shelter of the roofless heads
It s hard to deny when you open your eyes
and listen to yourself instead

And you ll think you ve gone crazy
but you hope it will pass
It s a sickening feeling maybe it won t last
It shouldn t be happening at this point in time
With these houses standing empty
