Lyrics & Music by Adrian J. Pratt
Album: Passions, Pains and Protestations

"Poverty breeds frustration. Frustration breeds violence. We reap what we sow.
This one recorded using Zelda and Frank... my Hofner Everything vintage guitar and Bass.... with a little help from the drum machine!"
When I was hungry, you never fed me
When I was naked you passed me by..
When I was crying you refused to hear me
When I was dying -you just left me to die.. Oh..

Rich people in an age of hunger
If only your love was stronger
If only you could hear all those little babies crying uh-oh
Look around see them -dying

Rich people in an age of hunger
If only your love, if only your love,
If only your love was stronger
If only you could hear all those little babies crying uh-oh
Look around see them -dying

All they ask for is the right to live
That instead of take you start to give
A million people out there starving and crying
Maybe it's our fault that they are dying... Oh...

Rich people in an age of hunger
If only your love, if only your love,
If only your love was stronger
If only you could hear all those little babies crying uh-oh
Look around see them.. dying

Under the influence of affluence
It's so easy to block your mind..
Well worn policies and crooked ideologies
Are more important than other peoples lives.

Rich people in an age of hunger
If only your love, if only your love, if only your love was stronger
If only you could hear all those little babies crying uh-oh
Look around see them dying.

Rich people in an age of hunger
Listen out for the sound of approaching thunder
You may think that such a thing
Could never ever happen to you
But I would not be so sure
Because the dying and oppressed poor
Would feel quite justified fighting a war
-Against you.
