How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
How can people be so heartless
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold
Easy to give in
Easy to help out
How can people have no feelings
You know I'm hung up on you
And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who say they care about social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who care about evil
And social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd?
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend
