BEFORE THEY CARE [ blues/country-rock ] Click Here for Music Video of this song Click Here for Free Song Download Well, they got poor folks down in China, more poor folks in 'Carolina Seems like lately, there's poor folks most everywhere Homeless children in New Delhi, old folks livin' on Skid Row, L.A. Men of war's corporate lackeys actin' like they ain't even there          And it looks like hell's gonna freeze over before they care          Can't afford the gasoline to drive to work no longer there          Neither party up in DC, represents either you or me          An' it looks like hell's gonna freeze over, before they care Underneath America's steeple, sit a lot of mis-guided people 'Tryin' to believe in someone often misquoted there The message is so far from the level, it ain't welcome even by the devil Unborn babies will be lucky if they never breathe the polluted air          And it looks like hell's gonna freeze over before they care          Veterans lyin' in the gutter, sick folks dyin' with no healthcare          Neither party up in DC, can see the forest or the trees          An' it looks like hell's gonna freeze over, before they care Rather than fix highways and pollution, Social Security and Medicare They pass knee-jerk non-binding resolutions an' build bridges that don't go         anywhere          Looks like hell's gonna freeze over before they care          Before we have fair elections and the world no longer lives in fear          The great Alaskan frozen tundra's gonna be warmer than Arizona          An' it looks like hell's gonna freeze over, before they care          Before they care, long before they care          And it looks like hell's gonna freeze over, long before they care * * Dedicated to We The People of the 21st Century, victims of the most corrupt, knee-jerk and totally incompetant congress in the history of the United States, if not the world.             Copyright © by Richard Aberdeen ASCAP Copyright © by Freedom Tracks Music ASCAP          No part of this material may be reproduced or utilized in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including printing, photocopying, recording or by any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from publisher.
