Do You Care


Do you care

Do you give a damn

Look around at all this bloodshed

 

We're not making this up

It's time to wisen up

The evidence has always been here

 

People are dying

The color of my skin is considered a crime

Do you care

 

I shouldn't have to be a relative

In order for you to give a damn

Analyze through the eyes of history and the present

Look at all the bloodshed

 

Do you care 

Do you give a damn

Look around at all this bloodshed

What will you do to change all this
