Punk Rock Song (2) Tab

Have you been to the desert
Have you walked with the dead?
There's a hundred thousand children
Being killed for their bread
And the figures don't lie
They speak of human disease
But we do what we want
And we think what we please

Have you lived the experience
Have you witnessed the plague?
People makin' babies
Sometimes just to escape
In this land of competition
The compassion is gone
Yet we ignore the needy
And we keep pushin' on
Keep pushin' on

This is just a punk rock song
Written for the people who can see somethin's wrong
Like ants in a colony we do our share
But there's so many other fuckin' insects out there
And this is just a punk rock song

Have you visited the quagmire
Have you swam in the shit?
The party convention
And the Realpolitik
The face is always different
The rhetoric the same
But we swallow it all
And we see nothin' change
Nothin' has changed

This is just a punk rock song
Written for the people who can see somethin's wrong
Like workers in a factory we do our share
But there's so many other fuckin' robots out there
And this is just a punk rock song

Ten million dollars on a losing campaign
Twenty million starvin' and writhing in pain
Big strong people unwillin' to give
Small in vision and perspective

One in five kids below the poverty line
One population runnin' out of time
Runnin' out of time

This is just a punk rock song
Written for the people who can see somethin's wrong
Like ants in a colony we do our share
But there's so many other fuckin' insects out there
And this is just a punk rock song

The figures don't lie, they speak of human disease
But we do what we want and we think what we please
One in five kids below the poverty line
One population runnin' out of time

This is just a punk rock song
This is just a punk rock song
This is just a punk rock song
