Today in Northern Ireland, A farm boy builds a bomb, To pay a final debt to men Who killed his dad and mom. And other men will die. We'll hear it on the evening news, And never blink an eye. Different worlds for all to see, But still the same reality. In North Korea life goes on, Despite the years of hell.
Rice still grows and children play Where bombs and rockets fell.
A blonde haired girl with Asian eyes Is taunted by her friends. Though Mother Nature made her peace, The fighting never ends. South Africa is burning down, The flames light up the night. Fear and hate, the way of life Between the black and white. A question of equality, With answers hard to find.
