I would like once again to recommend John Kay and Steppenwolf. Here's one of the recent song lyrics:
Ain't that a Shame
>From the 2001 release of "Heretics and Privateers"
Words and music by John Kay, Rocket Ritchotte, and Michael Wilk
Can't spell their name though their life's depending on it
Can't count past ten without taking off their shoes
Don't know a thing 'bout the world they will inherit
Now all those chickens have come home to roost
There was a time when we reached for the moon
Now we have millions learning how to push a broom
Ain't that a shame, Ain't that a shame?
Can't find a home when you got no work or money
Can't get a job when you're living in the street
Just wait in line for your ration of compassion
And don't remind us of our selfishness and greed
There was a time when we reached to the poor
Now we are told they just don't matter anymore
Ain't that a shame, Ain't that a shame?
We're all players in this game, we're all to blame
Ain't that a shame, Ain't that a shame?
Can't clean our house throwing dirt at one another
Can't hear reason while we shout and we accuse
We cast the blame and point fingers at each other
And wonder why no one will call a truce
Ask any child past the age of four
It takes everyone to keep the peace, just one to start a war
Ain't that a shame, Ain't that a shame?
No matter how much we complain, things stay the same
Ain't that a shame, Ain't that a shame?
Now are things bad enough, are we mad enough to make a change?
