LYRICS GAME

Fill in the lyric gaps as you listen to the song

We pay to be born

Pay to have a home

Pay to lose

We pay to win

Pay to live

Pay to dream

We pay to die

And the kid pays to bury

We have the will

But nowhere to work

We have justice

But only for those who can pay

We have courage

But no strength to fight

So we leave home

Not knowing if we'll be back

And then you come

To grab what's our right

Crime ain't crime anymore

When it's a crime well done

Living like this

Is something I don't accept

Meanwhile the people cry

With nowhere to live

But there's a flame lit

Inside the chest

Because we just can't

Keep living like this

When the people explode

It'll be just cause and effect

An effect that fills my lungs

And gives me strength to sing

Mr. President, this country's sick

Our people can't take it anymore

Mr. President, how do you feel

Seeing the line at our hospitals?

Mr. President, I even wish we

Could understand each other but don't know how

'Cause tonight

Another boy on the back street is gone

This is my country

So pretty it has no hurricane

Of a people still orphaned

By the nation's father

Of a single-mother homeland

To its population

Where wages are worth less

Than the price of bread

A street kid sleeps

Resting his feet

Traveling to the moon

In a ten-buck baggie

Beloved yet unloved homeland

By unfaithful children

Tell me who rules you

And I'll tell you who you are

And then you come

To grab what's our right

Crime ain't crime anymore

When it's a crime well done

Living like this

Is something I don't accept

Meanwhile the people cry

With nowhere to live

But there's a flame lit

Inside the chest

Because we just can't

Keep living like this

When the people explode

It'll be just cause and effect

An effect that fills my lungs

And gives me strength to sing

Mr. President, this country's sick

Our people can't take it anymore

Mr. President, how do you feel

Seeing the line at our hospitals?

Mr. President, I even wish we

Could understand each other but don't know how

Don't know how, I don't know

'Cause tonight

Another boy on the back street is gone
