How Long?

There's a yacht out cross the waterline Pass the garbage Scows where the homeless dine Where a senator and his sexitary Work on from 6 to 9 And the evening news comes in by satellite About the Arabs and the Israelites Seems that somebody's Gods always trying to pick a fight How many more must fall before someone notices their gone How many more must fall before someone says that this is wrong Raise your hands for Desmond Tutu, amnesty for Nelson there Africa had Steven Biko, Leavenworth has Peltier The old ones sit at home and wait While the government men speculate Was it worth the lives lost in Kuwait For the oil tycoons to masturbate How many more must fall before someone notices their gone How many more must fall before someone says that this is wrong 1-2-3-4-5-6-7
