Southern Hemisphere

A few doors up there's a room where they lie

Their eyes are wise and the faces are gray

Those nine are unlucky, disease in the veins

With one million others they have no one to blame

She didn t care pushing h would give her and i and a v as the wage

But the shouting and drinking right there at home would make you want to fall

So severe

But why should i care?

That's so severe

But that's like some southern hemisphere

Hey, who would take this kid? he's 8 years old

His parents are dead and he doesn't have a home

His big sister's sold in flat for any use

Pretty teenage is blooming for customers to choose

Well, you cannot blame your sweet destiny and that was his, he was born into this place

So much pain, so much poverty, it makes you ask for any grace

So severe

But why should i care?

That's so severe

But that's like some southern hemisphere

In the autumn nights on the street it gets cold, boys may build a fire

Unlike they are told

If police shows up they can't but escape the deadliest muggings

Hired by the state

Sometimes they must think of fleeing the world and the suffering within

After 1991 it didn't get better like we all hoped for

So severe

But why should i care?

That's so severe

But that's like some southern hemisphere
