look at all these people lying around look at all these people being scraped right off the ground because of too many broken homes too many cardboard boxes too many people who just can't survive hard losses well americans don't belong in tins let's learn to help ourselves before we help the foreign wounded decay shout out dismay can you hear their voices yelling out mayday why are we sending money over seas look out your window our nation's the one that needs because there's not enough income there's too much poverty why must we lose more lives before our eyes will see we'll leave it alone hope it goes away its hard to ignore life when you live it everyday I'd like to see I'd like to say I'd like to hear that help is on the way here today where tomorrow? death in the shadows affects us all too many bodies lie in the street too many hungry mouths that have the right to feed

I have always considered this song my second favorite Pennywise song. After the incident on Sept. 11, it was tied for first. Why should we send money overseas to other countries when WE ourselves need help. We should help our own country before helping some FUCKING middle eastern country that's going to return the favor by dropping a bomb on us. If you like the lyrical content to this song, listen to "Veteran" by Ignite. To end this little blurb, I choose a line from that very song. "The cuts in care and medicaid leads me to believe our government just doesn't care. They send our aid, our misspent funds. American's hungry living in the gutter." - Ignite
America is a big country, but it cant help its own homeless people, but it is willing to help other people while letting their own homeless continue to be homeless.
Its about how homelessness is one of the most noticable reasons to the idea that we shouldn't put other countries in front of ours, because we need help too
