The Other Life
All men are born as equal as can be,
 But are all people really this free?
 In the U.S. of A, we’ve got it pretty good
 We’re ignorant of the world, and stuck in our hood
 
 Neglecting to realize the rest of the world’s cries
 Cuz what happens beneath those hidden sheets
 Are more important than any man’s feats
 Those entrapped by Kony’s hands
 Should take precedence over Justin Bieber fans
 
 From Genocides in Rwanda and kidnaps in Uganda,
 To brutal sex slaves and deadly drug trades
 There’s more out there than our news will share
 We need to open our hearts and spread our care!
 
 The world is corrupt.
 But how many of us care enough?
 Living our ignorant lives
 Caring more about our selfish prize
 We need to help one another
 Spread our love to a brother
 Then the world will see
 That it too can be free.
 
 If we just pick one cause,
 And take a moment to pause.
 Take a minute out of our busy lives
 To help cure the worlds wretched cries.
 Then the world would be a better place
 Filled with peace and equality in race
 
 We think our lives are tough, cuz we don’t have enough
 We want more money, better cars, and a hotter honey
 These first world troubles, don’t even compare to their struggles
 Their gruesome lives and torn up knuckles.
 They need our help, our simple support
 We are all they have: their last resort.
 
 All men are created as equal as can be,
 But these men are clearly not as free as me.
