Stop The World
©2003 Jae Avery

Ethiopian starvation
One more job for the United Nations
Afghanistan has a new generation
Of anti loyalists
Global warming is on its way
Natural disasters come what may
Who wants to raise their kids today
In a world like this?

Chorus:
Stop the world, I wanna get off
Ring the bell, I’ve had enough
Why can we find peace and harmony
And live in a world where freedom is free

Terror in the land of the free
A mother stoned for adultery
Congress peace for the Middle East
Or just political gain
Nuclear weapons in whose possession?
Blair & Bush are at Sunday confession
Ten o’clock is so depressing
We tune in just the same

Chorus:

If sacrifice of human life is the price to be free
Then this old world is too damned expensive
For the likes of me

Chorus:
