about

This is my political song… I address it to the leaders of the world, who too often think of their own personal gain before the benefit of the people they serve. The world of humanity is like a human body – when you hurt one part of the body, you may not realise it, but the whole body is affected. When you hurt others, you are in fact hurting yourself too.

lyrics

I know that you know it’s certain
I know that you know it’s true
I know that you know that they know, they say so
See, we know that you know it’s true

You’d like to run, hide, it’s certain
You’d like to hide from the truth
I know what you’d like, and they know that you’d hide
It looks like you’d best find the truth

It’s hurting me, why can’t you see
It’s hurting you too?
It’s burning me, why can’t you see
It’s burning you too?
It’s hurting me, why can’t you see
It’s hurting you too?
It’s burning me, why can’t you see
It’s bearing down on you?

They say that you know it’s hurting
And you say that they have the proof
They say that you know that they say that you know
So I say let’s cut the charade we’ve made

It’s hurting me, why can’t you see
It’s hurting you too?
It’s burning me, why can’t you see
It’s burning you too?
It’s hurting me, why can’t you see
It’s hurting you too?
It’s burning me, why can’t you see
It’s bearing down on you?

(solo)

I know that you know it’s certain
I know that you know it’s true

It’s hurting me, why can’t you see
It’s hurting you too?
It’s burning me, why can’t you see
It’s burning you too?
It’s hurting me, why can’t you see
It’s hurting you too?
It’s burning me, why can’t you see
It’s bearing down on you?
