She asked me if you were fair god, where do your favors rain
Earth shakes shake us out of our torpor
What does it mean to be the arms and legs of the almighty
Is this a loud alarm clock, are you buzzing with death and destruction?
The cries of the poor, they sing with minor keys
The cries of the poor, they ring with rage
The cries of the poor, they mingle with sweat
The cries of the poor, they run with blood
What fortresses do we build to keep your storms from disturbing our artificial peace?
Lightning rods to deflect your wrath
How long will you stand this Lord
How long will our incence of shit hit your nostrils
When will enough be enough?
While the least cry for our crumbs, morsels of our bounty
While the least cry for our pennies, pieces of our golden idols
I hear the cries, I feel the tremors- the land screams for justice
You take home the hungry, leave the full to starve in milk and honey
I walk away from the satisfied, seeking water for my parched tongue
Full but empty, rich but poor, I cry how long.
