Paroles What if You Knew de David Rovics

Textes et Paroles de What if You Knew

If you knew the earth was dyingIf they said this on the newsIf they would clarify the pictureInstead of seeking to confuseIf you could see the ice caps meltingIf you could watch the oceans riseIf you could see the consequencesRight before your eyesIf you knew the kids were dyingIf you could look insideThe river where their food comes fromFilled with cyanideIf you could hear the parents pleadingIf they were lookin' right at youIf you could see the anguish in their heartsWhat if you knewIf you knew the bombs were fallingIf they showed them hit the groundIf you could see the bodies flyingIf you could hear the soundIf you could see the rubbleWhere the hospital once stoodIf you saw the child's lifeless limbsWould you hold them if you couldIf you knew that they were lyingEvery time they spokeFor every laser-guided pinprickThere were lives lost in the smokeIf instead of just the generalsThey had doctors, tooTo describe the carnage of the cluster bombsWhat if you knewIf you knew what they were sayingWhen they think you cannot hearIf you understood what they doIf for you it was so clearIf you knew they shut down the factoryIn an economic ruseIf you could kiss the cheek of the childIn the sweatshop that made your shoesIf every time we went to warTo fight our evil foesThey told you we were really fightingFor the good of CEOsIf you could feel the hunger of the manySee the riches of the fewIf they told it like it isWhat if you knewIf you knew that you were livingIn a huge conspiracyWould you leave your suburbsGet out of your SUVWould you hit the streetsAnd fight for all our livesWould you hold your groundWhen the stormtroopers arriveIf you knew that the whole planetDepended on what you do nowWould you take commandWith the speed our times allowIf the pundits told the truthFor just a week or twoAnd real life was shown on TVWhat if you knew
