Yet They Still Ignore

歌詞

"It's a shame about the third world. They're starving at our feet." "Are you sure you're quite alright now George?" "Have you had enough to eat?" "There's lots and lots of stew left. It's over there on the shelf." "Are you sure you've had enough now?" "Well you can always help yourself." (Yet they still ignore...) Woolworth's have got a sale one "How about a treat?" Says hubby to 'the wife As they're walking down the street They've got so much to choose from That they don't know what to get. Maybe an electric toothbrush Or another cutlery set... (And still the minutes tick away Another hour off another day Silence as the world is blind To the agonies of humankind People starve all over the world The voice of inequality but few have heard Some they laugh whilst others cry Some gain 'wealth' others die.) ...They'll buy a brand new toilet seat That'll match the nice new loo "Have you got a red one?" "Oh well we'll paint the bathroom blue. How about one of these? I'm not quite sure what it's for. But we've got a couple one the mantelpiece, And I'd really like one more." (Yet they still ignore...) "How about a nice big joint? Aunt Lucy's coming to dinner." "Oh look George it's a 'chuckie roast' It's got to be a winner They'll lavish it with mint sauce, Finish off with apple pie, Then they'll sit in front of the big square screen And let their conscience die (And yet they'll still ignore...)
