lyrics

we are born in this rich country
in the middle of the world in prosperity
our lives are good, our future is secured
and mum and dad are happy to see us grow

we creep together in the filthy mud
just beside the minefield, behind our shack
hunger feelings numbed with glue
to survive our lives in the streets

a primary school being out of reach
no teacher to learn important stuff
hands or legs lost in wars
we are longing for better lives

come on, come one, together we are strong
come on, come on, one for all and all for one

some years later in the filthy mud
you kiss the girl that I've kissed before
as you've pledged to do on my deathbed
when I lost my fight and met mum and dad

so enjoy the time with this girl
but this virus won't leave you anymore
no money for a proper treatment
are mum and dad glad to see you soon?

in this country where we are born
no such problems ever confront us
as mum and dad, to tell you the truth,
are this great to ignore them all

fuck off, fuck off, together we'd be strong
fuck off, fuck off, it's a matter of fact that we don't care
