Funny how the very ones who br Say they carry the light, also br Bare the responsibility br For most of the pain in the world. br Funny how the loudest whiners br Are the fanciest diners at the br Buffet of humanity. br Funny how the rich are exempt br And the poor breed contempt; br How the nations with the most to give br Play the best game of politics br Supplying the weaponry that br Eventually kills even their own children. br Funny isn’t it how the world works br With its upside down righteousness br And its lawful injustice, while br All the best parts of mankind are being br Sucked out through the holes in the ozone br Or dissolved completely in the furnace of br Unrestrained, thoughtless industry or greed. br It’s a funny world alright; br Funny how nobody’s laughing.
