Lyrics
Caring
Not even ten
Simon was a brave soldier
Not a toy not a pen
Or a chance to get older
From birth to twenty
Anna had survived the war
In her country
Future lays way too far
Who cares…
Four years already
That Rose crossed the border
Her hands empty
Her life left behind her
It’s been eight
That Fred lost his dignity
Wished he was dead
Rather than a refugee
Who cares…
Once more fever’s back
Decimated Marks own last year
Keeps coming back
Though one dose could heal
Two years she’s sick
Kathy can’t decently live
The cure exists
But Kathy’s not cost-effective
Who cares…
When TV keeps playing nice movies
When week-ends are for friends and hobbies
Who cares? Who cares?
When war and instability pay the best
Who would give it a damn rest?
Would you?
Well if you don’t - I do
