You're not better than me.

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
" ?; ^  O0 G, z% N4 T  YWho do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?

It's the only form of protest they're allowed

Another woman on a torture table what else can they do
They're dancing with the missing

Those two songs go the same way, unlike our singers, foreign singers, however, are singing not only on romance,but on many serious topics like  politics and  enviroment.
seems what our vanity fair  merely care is money, what a simple life they are leading!!
