Aus-Rotten <br />Anarchist Hardcore Punk Anarcho Punk Punk Rock Crust Punk Punk <br />Album THE SYSTEM WORKS FOR THEM 1996 <br /><br />Lyrics <br /><br />Many fled to Zaire for the fear of being killed in the vicious, <br />Bloody civil war that took half a million lives <br />Over two milion refugees pile into neighboring countries towns <br />Hoping to escape their deaths but this is what they found <br />Bodies stacked in massive piles and mass graves overflowing <br />As the cholera camps are waiting for the aid to finally come <br />The Rwandan refugees are dying by the thousands every day <br />While clean water needed to preserve life is supposedly on it's way <br />Too little, too late <br />We are all responsible for the third world we create <br />Now we try to help these people but we're too fucking late <br />Too little, too late <br />We control the third world's fate <br />Our high standard of living contributes to their deaths <br />And the truth behind the bloodshed is what our government protects <br />But the fault is also ours because we're killing with our greed <br />For our material possessions we confuse our wants with need <br />The companies and the media promote these capitalist views, <br />Praising the American way of life, never asking at whose expense <br />So if you think we're helping then you're really fucking blind <br />Because we're after special interests and the rest we leave behind <br />Too little, too late <br />We are all responsible for the third world we create <br />Now we try to help these people but we're too fucking late <br />Too little, too late <br />We control the third world's fate <br />Haitian and Cuban refugees try to find a better life only to be denied <br />Entry to the United States because our government doesn't deem it necessary <br />To help our fellow man, so if they can't make us money <br />They don't want them in our land <br />Panama and Nicaragua were some to receive our "aid", <br />So what kind of difference did we make beside the loss of lives? <br />And how is life in BOSNIA? Did the problems disapear? <br />And what about Rwanda is their water now crystal clear? <br />Too little, too late <br />We are all responsible for the third world we create <br />Now we try to help these people but we're too fucking late <br />Too little, too late <br />We control the third world's fate
