Is the world really so perfect these days?
Are the wars and hurts behind us?
Or is the vacuous celebrity how history will define us?
Where are the cries of freedom?
The cries of "NO MORE WAR!"
Or is Pippa's latest dress what we're searching for?
So where are all the protest songs?
Where is all the noise?
Where is all the shouting?
Where the mighty voice?!
The Arab spring's upon us
As countless people die
Oh how I long for their summer, in the peaceful grass to lie
Are we really all that vacuous?
Is our attention span that small?
When news of pain and suffering does not our conscience call?
