Stuff to fill graves

Thousands of people died today
Anonymous, just went away
No-one noticed, no-one cared
Desensitised, our feelings spared

A face in the crowd (Just stuff)
Disappears
A needle in the hay

Only the famous are ever missed
And eulogised by journalists
The eyes of the world don't see specks
Cause they ain't nothin' - only next

A face in the crowd (Just stuff)
Disappears
A needle in the hay

Fighting wars, boys blown away
Picnics, parties on Memorial Day
Starvation, famine never stops
Farmers paid not to grow crops
Bag lady dead upon the street
Step over her, don't miss a beat
Under the big top it don't rain
We shield ourselves from death and pain

Thousands of people died today
No-one noticed, no-one cared

Only the famous are ever missed
And eulogised by journalists
The eyes of the world don't see specks
Cause they ain't nothin' - only next

A face in the crowd disappears
The needle in the hay
The eyes of the world, they don't see specks
Cause they ain't nothin' - only next
