Worthy Victim Songtext
von Consolidated

I′d like to know who defines a worthy victim
Who is left behind and who will be saved
We all mourn the loss of a generation
Who will mourn the children of el mozote in their graves
But everything must be used and we all must obey
His breath of air is the mountain that he carries
The only item he can afford is t.b.
When neo-fascists start blowing up the cemeteries
Even in the final resting place there's no peace
We hear the cry of the victim′s pain calling hatred by its name
Yet we sit here as if to say
That someone else will pay just turn and walk away
Well it's just another day someone has to pay
Give the liberals something to ease their conscience
A homeless man's blanket′s a headline that reads restore hope
Kill our brothers for a street sign kill our children for the pope
We′d all like to hang at the party if you give us enough rope
A nation sits glued to the television


As they airlift a baby girl from the war zone
I tell my wife i love her she's a survivor too
And not the only victim of ethnic cleansing that i know
We hear the cry of the victim′s pain calling hatred by its name
And yet we accept it as if to say
That someone else will pay just turn and look away
Oh well it's just another day turn the refugees away
I′m sorry i've no spare change today someone else will pay
I′m waiting for someone to say
There's a fourth ward in somalia
L.a wars like bosnia
There's no word on salvador
Have you heard of east timor
Where have all the dolphins gone
Prisoner israel lebanon
Some people will sing this song
It goes on and on
We are all responsible and indifference is a sin
