I’m a third world child
And the world is my mother
She has left me behind
To cry and to suffer
While she shines in diamonds
For which my father digs and dies for a living
She forgets the state of her child
Satisfied with a little giving
All day long under the scorching sun
All night long with my hungry dreams
Civilization, progress, where’re you hiding?
Are these just words in your mind
Screaming jets against the midday sun
Spell your hopes and my destruction
I’m a third world child
With tears streaming down my cheeks
Burning earth through my weary feet
No-one seems to care, no-one seems to hear
All day long under the scorching sun
All night long with my hungry dreams
All day long under the scorching sun
All night long with my hungry dreams
