13. I Still Pray
I still cry for Baby Jesus,
And I still pray when I'm alone,
And when I'm lost,
He'll come to find me,
Because he died to save my soul.

When I can't walk he's there to carry,
When I speak he hears my words,
When I wake and I have nothing,
He sends me gold, frankincense and myrrh.

When I cry my tears of sorrow,
When my heart will only ache,
And if I'm troubled when I'm sleeping,
He will hold me until I wake

14. Ignorance
Don't wanna read the paper I don't like bad news,
Last night a man got shot outside the house of blues,
I'd like to ignore it I'd like to just pretend,
That the reason for it is something I can comprehend,
I don't listen to the radio last time it made me cry,
Two boys went crazy fifteen kids died,
And I don't know their families I don't ask 'em how they're going,
They're on the other side of the world but it's way too close to home.

I've got something to say,
And I thought it might be worth a mention,
If you're not pissed off at the world,
Then you're just not paying attention,
And you can turn off the TV and go about your day,
But just cos you don't see it,
It don't mean it's gone away.

We don't talk to our neighbours they've got funny coloured skin,
We see 'em out on the sidewalk but we don't invite 'em in,
We only eat when we're hungry and we throw the rest away,
While babies in Cambodia are starving every day.
We risk our lives we hit our wives we act like everything is funny,
We hide our pain while we go insane we sell our souls for money,
We curse our mums we build our bombs we make our children cry,
We watch the band while Vietnam just watch their children die.
