chespoet world

The world isn't the place we want it to be
As we sit in our towers made af ivory
So many aint as lucky as you and me
And we talk about making poverty history
Y'know, talking the talk gets fuck-all done
We don't walk the walk, but pretend we run
When we just stand still hoping solutions will come
And more of Bob's concerts that prove more than just fun
 
Y'know, waiting for sollutions is like watching skunk grow
If the governments on it, it's on it too slow
How many Africans should perish before we can know
When waiting for sollutions is like watching skunk grow
 
So I put the boot upon the other foot, it'd be interesting to take a look
At myself if my luxuries were took, away from me and my life was shook
Could I support my life, could I stay alive, would faith survive, if there be nothing but striffe
Would I exell or crumble, do well or stumble, be of help or just grumble, would it be hell living humble
I don't know if I would cope, well how could I tell, if my whole familly had AIDS and myself aswell
If there was a 4 mile walk to a water well, for water that's dirty and murky and smells
If our kids were dying before the age of five, if there was not enoughe food for us all to survive
No education for our brains to thrive, and no medication to keep us allive
 
Y'know waiting for sollutions is like watching mushrooms grow
If the governments on it, it's on it too slow
How many should we see die, beefore we can know
When waiting for sollutions is like watching mushrooms grow
 
If I think that I'm poor 'cos I use day centres for grubb, and moan about bennefits not being enoughe
If I tend to ignore what i spend on booze and drugs, and blame the whole world for Me sleeping roughe
I suppose I'm thinking a little off key, that victim mentality "oh poor little Me"
Y'know I can't be poor living in this country, the difference deffined in a word is opertunity
We at least have the chance to make good of ourselves, and now have the chance to help everyone else
We know Africas fucked, we've heard allarm bells, so it's time to stop stacking their problems on shelves
It's time to let our leaders see whats wanted by you and wanted by me, we say we want to make poverty history but do nothing to make history of poverty
 
Y'know, waiting for sollutions is like watching skunk grow
If the governments on it, it's on it too slow
How many Africans should perish before we can know
When waiting for sollutions is like watching skunk grow

Todays the day

The teddy bears they

Got stoned 'n' forgot where their tools wher laid

Couldn't do the job, 'n' didn't get paid

So they told the boss the tools got nicked

Lost their jobs homes 'n' wives who left'em quick

Ate rotten scraps of food from the woods, that made'em sick

And you c***s thaught they was 'avin a picnic!

Some Say, He cant boil peas
Some Say, He's poisonous to trees
Some Say, He does his washing-up in bed
Some Say, He has a spare leg in his head
Some Say, He exercises on his roof
Some Say, He never was a youth
Some Say, He got arrested for assaulting the future
Some Say, He combs his hair with his computer
Some Say, He once fell up three hundred steps
Some Say, He has a phobia of films of Johnny Depp's
Some Say, He once ate a lion tracker
Some Say, He's Michael Schumaker
Some Say, He isn't and I agree
He can't be, cos it's ME!

Best wish on your birthday but one thing I cant get clear.
How come you are 28 and at school we were in the same year!

She says I'm not willing to compromise
So I told her to try this one on for size
I'll admit I can't do everything with my might
If she'll admit that I'm always right

'We have to give up smoking' the governmeny have said.
They are trying more than ever to drum this into our heads
First health warnings on every pack
Now pics of lungs that have been turned black
I'd stop buying them if... The pics were of gay porn instead!

One thing I'd like quite soon in my life
Is to find me a soul mate and make her my wife
We'd be so in Love, we'd get high off eachother
We'd sleep comfortably, smiling, knowing we are together
Then the first light of each morning, still smiling we'd wake
Beautiful smiles, warm, caring, not fake
I'd be petrified to think of us being apart
Not knowing how I could love her so much with just one heart

They say it's better to have failed in love than to never have tried.
I wonder if its worth the tears that are cried
And being damaged inside
When we take on board the pain from someone who lied
I Sit here as someone who's love recently departed
I wish the whole ugly relationship had never started
