They say there’s suffering here, and suffering over there,
There’s suffering everywhere,
Of suffering you’re aware,
“It’s suffering,” you declare,
There’s suffering everywhere.
There’s hungering and despair,
There’s hunger and it's unfair,
There’s hungering everywhere,
There’s hungering solitaire,
There’s hungering in pairs,
There’s hungering everywhere….
But it’s not here.
(there’s suffering everywhere)
There’s suffering millionaires,
There’s suffering on welfare,
There’s suffering everywhere, (everywhere)
There’s suffering undeclared,
There’s suffering unawares,
There’s suffering everywhere… (everywhere)
But it’s not here,
No, it’s not here,
And if it's not here, then is it anywhere?
