We wanted everything to be okay
To fit into boxes
Neat packages with ribbons and bows
We never expected to feel this way
Maybe we thought someone else would clean up
We screamed aloud for change
But we never did anything, we never did anything
We screamed so loud for change
But we never did anything, we never did anything
How could we dare to complain?
When we never did anything
We heard a problem that was far away
We read all the numbers
Pointed fingers and we placed the blame
She is hungry, she is so hungry
To fit into boxes
Neat packages with ribbons and bows
We never expected to feel this way
Maybe we thought someone else would clean up
We screamed aloud for change
But we never did anything, we never did anything
We screamed so loud for change
But we never did anything, we never did anything
How could we dare to complain?
When we never did anything
We heard a problem that was far away
We read all the numbers
Pointed fingers and we placed the blame
She is hungry, she is so hungry
