Sick Of It All - Just Look Around (remix) lyrics

[intro, Pledge of Allegiance excerpt (sample)] In a nation under God Indivisible With liberty And justice for all [Lou Koller] Yeah The question they keep asking me How can one so young be so bitter and angry? Well, the answer is plain to see Maybe if they weren't so blind they'd see what I see I see the homeless livin' out on the street On every corner they're asking for money I try to help them whenever I can But sometimes I can't afford to help myself I see diseases and modern plagues of our times The greed of our leaders has made them blind To our problems, they spend millions overseas People right here are fightin' wars everyday I see the whites that hate the blacks Blacks against the j**s (why?), race against religion And they're all too blind to see [Everlast] I saw the homeless man beggin' He's got half a leg and He used to be a soldier The sign that he's holdin' Says "times are hard" Can you please kick me down Before you turn your back Just take a look around [Lou Koller] When we fight each other it puts all of them at ease It keeps us so busy, so they can do what they please Election time comes and they're out for votes That's when you see and hear from them the most This is what they're calling a "democracy" That's just another word for hypocrisy We keep fallin' for the bait And when we realize, it's always too late I see the whites that hate the blacks Blacks that hate the j**s, brother against brother And they're all too blind to see Too blind Why don't you Open up your eyes, so you can see Open up your ears, so you can hear (repeated) As the rich get richer, the poor goin' hungry I've seen the toll it takes on the workingman's family Education system that's obsolete Can't hold a kid's interest or keep 'em off the street See a father's fear, hear a mother's cry What kind of a nation lets their children die? Government's corrupt and full of red tape Then you're gonna ask me why I hate [Lou Koller with rhymes doubled by Everlast] Why don't you Open up your eyes, so you can see Open up your ears, so you can hear (repeated) Take a look around and you will find Take a look around and you will find out why [outro: Everlast] Cause I'm sick of it all Yeah, I'm sick of it all You know I'm sick of it all
