Look at all those people standing

They are looking into empty space.

What's happening to their race.

 Bad to worse.



Look at all those people crying

They are looking at us in disgrace.

They don't realise

What their tears mean to our face.



And I twist and turn at night

When I think about what gives them fright

I can't take no more

It's something i just can't ignore.



Slavery is misery

But black just isn't white.

Beaten children aren't set free

It's something that just ain't right.



They sweat and they bleed

And it kills thy creed.

They rape and they strip

And they use the whip.



And you just don't know

Yer, you don't realise.

What it's doing...



Look at all those people dying

They are trying to look into grace.

You don't realise

That their hearts' gonna lose it's pace.



It's the saddest thing

I've ever heard.

It's simply getting (from)

Bad to worse.



Look at all those people standing

Round someone's grave.

They don't realise

That something under isn't fate.



You twist and turn at night

When you think about why you ain't right (now)

You don't realise

that YOU DON'T CARE.
