Aus-Rotten - Too Little, Too Late lyrics

Many fled to Zaire for the fear
Of being killed in the vicious
Bloody civil war that took
Half a million lives
Over two milion refugees pile
Into neighboring countries towns
Hoping to escape their deaths but
This is what they found
Bodies stacked in massive piles and
Mass graves overflowing as the
Cholera camps are waiting for the
Aid to finally come
The Rwandan refugees are dying by
The thousands every day
While clean water needed to preserve life
Is supposedly on it's way

Too little, too late
We are all responsible for the
Third world we create
Now we try to help these people
But we're too fucking late
Too little, too late
We control the third world's fate

Our high standard of living contributes
To their deaths and the
Truth behind the bloodshed is
What our government protects
But the fault is also ours because
We're killing with our greed
For our material possessions we confuse
Our wants with need
The companies and the media
Promote these capitalist
Views, praising the American way of life
Never asking at whose expense
So if you think we're helping then
You're really fucking blind because
We're after special interests and the
Rest we leave behind

Too little, too late
We are all responsible for the
Third world we create
Now we try to help these people
But we're too fucking late
Too little, too late
We control the third world's fate

Haitian and Cuban refugees try to
Find a better life
Only to be denied entry to the United States
Because our government doesn't
Deem it necessary to help our fellow man
So if they can't make us money they
Don't want them in our land
Panama and Nicaragua were some
To receive our "aid"
So what kind of difference did we
Make beside the loss of lives?
And how is life in Bosnia?
Did the problems disapear?
And what about Rwanda is their
Water now crystal clear?

Too little, too late
We are all responsible for the
Third world we create
Now we try to help these people
But we're too fucking late
Too little, too late
We control the third world's fate

Too little, too late
We are all responsible for the
Third world we create
Now we try to help these people
But we're too fucking late
Too little, too late
We control the third world's fate
