\nLYRICS<\/b>
\nWhat about sunrise
\nWhat about rain
\nWhat about all the things
\nThat you said we were to gain…
\nWhat about killing fields
\nIs there a time
\nWhat about all the things
\nThat you said was yours and mine…
\nDid you ever stop to notice
\nAll the blood we’ve shed before
\nDid you ever stop to notice
\nThe crying Earth the weeping shores?<\/p>\n
\nAaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh<\/p>\n
\nLook what we’ve done
\nWhat about all the peace
\nThat you pledge your only son…
\nWhat about flowering fields
\nIs there a time
\nWhat about all the dreams
\nThat you said was yours and mine…
\nDid you ever stop to notice
\nAll the children dead from war
\nDid you ever stop to notice
\nThe crying Earth the weeping shores<\/p>\n
\nAaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh<\/p>\n
\nI used to glance beyond the stars
\nNow I don’t know where we are
\nAlthough I know we’ve drifted far<\/p>\n
\nAaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh
\nAaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh
\nAaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh<\/p>\n
\n(What about us)
\nWhat about the seas
\n(What about us)
\nThe heavens are falling down
\n(What about us)
\nI can’t even breathe
\n(What about us)
\nWhat about apathy
\n(What about us)
\nI need you
\n(What about us)
\nWhat about nature’s worth
\n(ooo, ooo)
\nIt’s our planet’s womb
\n(What about us)
\nWhat about animals
\n(What about it)
\nWe’ve turned kingdoms to dust
\n(What about us)
\nWhat about elephants
\n(What about us)
\nHave we lost their trust
\n(What about us)
\nWhat about crying whales
\n(What about us)
\nWe’re ravaging the seas
\n(What about us)
\nWhat about forest trails
\n(ooo, ooo)
\nBurnt despite our pleas
\n(What about us)
\nWhat about the holy land
\n(What about it)
\nTorn apart by creed
\n(What about us)
\nWhat about the common man
\n(What about us)
\nCan’t we set him free
\n(What about us)
\nWhat about children dying
\n(What about us)
\nCan’t you hear them cry
\n(What about us)
\nWhere did we go wrong
\n(ooo, ooo)
\nSomeone tell me why
\n(What about us)
\nWhat about babies
\n(What about it)
\nWhat about the days
\n(What about us)
\nWhat about all their joy
\n(What about us)
\nWhat about the man
\n(What about us)
\nWhat about the crying man
\n(What about us)
\nWhat about Abraham
\n(What about us)
\nWhat about death again
\n(ooo, ooo)
\nDo we give a damn<\/p>\n
