There goes one baby's life
It's such a small amount
She's un-American
I guess it doesn't count
Six thousand children's lives were simply thrown away
Lost without medicine inside of thirty days
In the New York harbor where the stocks withheld
It was the price we paid for a safer world
World is suffering
World is suffering

In Uttar Pradesh
Where they're building dams
They're displacing native peoples from their homes and lands
So they hunger strike 'cause they believe they count
To lose a single life
It's such a small amount
In the name of progress and democracy
The concepts represented in name only
His world is suffering
Her world is suffering
Their world is suffering

And the buildings fall in a cloud of dust
And we ask ourselves
"How could they hate us?"
Well, when we're living in ignorance and luxury
While our superpowers practice puppet mastery
We raise the men who run the fascist states
And we sell them arms so they maintain their place
We turn our backs on the things they've done
Their human rights record and the guns they run
His world is suffering
Her world is suffering
Their world is suffering

My world is suffering
Your world is suffering
Our world is suffering

Who'll do away with flags?
Who'll do us proud?
Remove the money from their pockets, scream dissent out loud?
'Cause god ain't on our side, the shoe won't fit
And though they think the war is won, that's not the last of it
Disenfranchised people need their voices heard
And if no one stops to listen
Lose their faith in words
And violence rises when all hope is lost
Who'll embrace the human spirit and absolve the cost?
(In my name, in my name)
(Not one life is taken)
(In my name, in my name)
(Not one life is taken)
His world is suffering
Her world is suffering
Their world is suffering

My world is suffering
Your world is suffering
Our world is suffering
