letra de state of the world (united nations 12") - janet jackson
[verse 1]
5 a.m. rise and shine
to feed the baby before he starts to cry
no rest, no time to play
15, the mother is a runaway
no time for dreams or goals
pressure is so strong
her body she has sold so her child can eat
what is happening to this world we live in
in our home and other lands
[chorus]
drugs and crime spreadin’ on the street
people can’t find enough to eat
now our kids can’t go out and play
that’s the state of the world today
state of the world, ooh baby
[verse 2]
lil’ johnny all alone
his only friend, the doll he carries with him
goes to school each and every day
to be teased because he has no place to stay
this young and homeless boy feels his life is worthless
instead of suicide, he cries himself to sleep
and it’s happenin’ to this world we live in
there’s got to be a better way, ooh
[chorus]
drugs and crime spreadin on the street
people can’t find enough to eat
now our kids can’t go out and play
that’s the state of the world today
[bridge]
that’s the state…that’s the state of the world today
[chorus]
drugs and crime spreadin’ on the streets
people can’t find enough to eat
now our kids can’t go out and play
that’s the state of the world today
[bridge]
crime spreadin’ on the streets
can’t find enough to eat
starvin’ people
kids can’t go out, they can’t even walk the streets
talkin’ ’bout the state of the world today
[outro]
can’t give up hope now
let’s weather the storm to…together
