von 10000 Maniacs

Honor salute and speak To the
Corner standing flag Do you rememberh ow the days of school were
Indivisible separate worlds Compare contrast These dreams absurd
Placid classroom faces Breathe in the features Of a demographics death
Map trilogy Children read them well Not to bury 3 of 4 sons As the
Likes of chivalry Not to take 6 of 30 bills To manufacture Corpus
Christi And so you think it can be so serene History's most
Intolerable famine Has clutched our global tranquility Reaped the
Lives of children Maladies collaborate With cyclic despair Infanticide
Clamors to 20 times more In 4th and 5th Worlds The poor have always
Been Beside us Amid us Death has always been As million cease 15
Million that's an annual reap Add divide multiply sum 41 thousand!
