What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Deep inside the border
2
Children are crying
3
Fighting for food
4
Holding their heads
5
Breaking their bread with a stone
6
All along the roadside
7
People are standing
8
Watching the sun
9
Shielding their eyes
10
Brushing the flies from their face
11
Tell me, what can you say?
12
Tell me, who do you blame?
13
Like a mirror you see yourself
14
These people each have a name
15
All around the township
16
Young men are dying
17
Of hunger and thirst
18
The well has run dry
19
The tears from her eye feeds her son
20
Now tell me, what can you say?
21
Tell me, who do you blame?
22
Like a mirror you see yourself
23
These people each have a name
24
You can say you're pulling back
25
We see the pictures everywhere
26
But what we don't see is
27
What's going on behind the closed doors
28
You don't seem to care
29
Do you expect me to believe you?
30
How can you really think?
31
But you can take your horse down to the water
32
Hold a gun at his head
33
And make him drink
34
No matter what you say
35
(No matter what you say)
36
It never gets any better
37
No matter what you do
38
(No matter what you do)
39
We never see any change
40
People living without rights
41
Without their dignity
42
But how loud does one man have to shout
43
To earn his right to be free?
44
You can keep your toy soldiers
45
To segregate the black and white
46
But when the dust settles
47
And the blood stops running
48
How do you sleep at night?
49
No matter what you say
50
(No matter what you say)
51
It never gets any better
52
No matter what you do
53
(No matter what you do)
54
We never see any change
55
No matter what you say
56
(No matter what you say)
57
It never gets any better
58
No matter what you do
59
(No matter what you do)
60
We never see any change
61
What makes you so high and mighty?
62
What makes you so qualified?
63
You can sit there and say
64
How many have their freedom?
65
But how many more died?
66
You decide to sit in judgement
67
Trying to play God yourself
68
Ooh but someday soon the buck is gonna stop
69
Stop with you and no one else
70
No matter what you say
71
(No matter what you say)
72
It never gets any better
73
No matter what you do
74
(No matter what you do)
75
We never see any change
76
No matter what you say
77
(No matter what you say)
78
It never gets any better
79
No matter what you do
80
(No matter what you do)
81
We never see any change
