Shelter lyrics

I remember at school there was always some fool
teaching us about the past
Pictures of kids, starving, eating out of bins
Man we all had to laugh
It¡¯s hard to believe we were told with relief
It couldn¡¯t happen now of course
It¡¯s easy to expound with your head in the ground
I¡¯ve since learnt that and more

What is there to do I¡¯m allright so are you
but outside there are TB streets
You can cry a lot say ¡®Oh! my God!¡¯
but as an action it is incomplete
put money in the hands of those who understand
Give shelter of the roofless heads
It¡¯s hard to deny when you open your eyes
and listen to yourself instead

And you¡¯ll think you¡¯ve gone crazy
but you hope it will pass
It¡¯s a sickening feeling maybe it won¡¯t last
It shouldn¡¯t be happening at this point in time
With these houses standing empty
