[00:00.57] There goes one baby's life
[00:03.36] It's such a small amount
[00:05.97] She's un-American
[00:09.16] I guess it doesn't count
[00:11.65] Six thousand children's lives
[00:14.54] Were simply thrown away
[00:17.09] Lost without medicine
[00:20.02] Inside of thirty days
[00:23.17] In the New York harbour
[00:25.90] Where the stock's withheld
[00:28.40] It was the price we paid
[00:31.34] For a safer world
[00:33.89] World is suffering
[00:36.53] World is suffering
[00:39.44] World is suffering
[00:42.13] World citizen
[00:48.41] And the buildings fall
[00:51.13] In a cloud of dust
[00:53.92] And we ask ourselves
[00:56.37] How could they hate us
[00:59.20] Well, when we live in ignorance and luxury
[01:05.04] While our super powers practice
[01:08.14] Puppet mastery
[01:11.35] We raise the men
[01:13.50] Who run the fascist states
[01:16.40] And we sell them arms
[01:18.78] So they maintain their place
[01:22.33] We turn our backs
[01:24.32] On the things they done
[01:27.85] Their human rights record
[01:30.40] And the guns they run
[01:32.65] His world is suffering
[01:35.44] Her world is suffering
[01:38.17] Their world is suffering
[01:41.06] World citizen
[01:43.71] My world is suffering
[01:46.30] Your world is suffering
[01:49.18] Our world is suffering
[01:52.13] World citizen
[01:57.81] Who'll do away with flags?
[02:01.10] Who'll do us proud?
[02:03.33] Remove the money from their pockets
[02:06.13] Scream dissent out loud?
[02:09.47] Cos god ain't on our side
[02:12.40] The shoe won't fit
[02:14.44] And though they think the war is won
[02:17.13] That's not the last of it
[02:20.37] Disenfranchised people
[02:22.61] Need their voices heard
[02:25.80] And if no one stops to listen
[02:28.50] Lose their faith in words
[02:31.68] And violence rises
[02:34.03] When all hope is lost
[02:36.87] Who'll embrace the human spirit
[02:39.60] And absorb the cost?
[02:48.28]
[03:05.05] His world is suffering
[03:07.45] Her world is suffering
[03:10.28] Their world is suffering
[03:13.13] World citizen
[03:15.98] My world is suffering
[03:18.62] Your world is suffering
[03:21.41] Our world is suffering
[03:24.15] World citizen
[03:28.16] Not one life is taken...
[03:34.25] In my name...
[03:41.37] In my name...
