Just Look Around Lyrics - Sick Of It All

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 wern'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 jews, 

Race against religion 

And the're all too blind to see 

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 

When we realize, 

It's always too late 

I see the whites that hate the blacks 

Blacks that hate the jews, 

Brother against brother 

And they're all to blind to see 

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 

Why don't you open up your eyes so you can see 

Open up your ears so you can hear 

Take a look around and you will find 

Take a look around and you will find out why
