The monsters behind the window
Behind the curtains
Everyday we wake up
Get dressed
While the world revolves on the axis
Spinning around and around
It’s just the way life is
And that’s the way life will always be
Perfect lives with perfect problems
Nothing too troublesome money can’t fix
Perfectly ignorant of the world behind the curtains
Every year we feast on fast food and sweets
Throwing away 1.3 billion tonnes
Food 3.1 million children died from the lack of
We blabber about equality
And how we’ll make life better
When a little girl working to survive could really need those 16 cents men get
And we still haven’t changed that
A little boy on an cocoa plantation works endless hours everyday
A little girl in a brothel crawls out of an wall and lets herself be sold off
Another little boy hides under his covers and cries from the pain outside in
In an carpet factory a little girl weaves carpets just because her parents could not pay
These are few of the monsters behind the window
And if their hunger isn’t sated
They’ll come out to play
