Finish your dinner, you don't know how lucky you are - think about the starving children in Africa. The eternal mystery of how modern technology can do almost anything except get a ship loaded with food and deliver it to starving people. For all the goodwill in the world, we simply lack the will.
lyrics
THE GRAIN, THE MOON AND THE MADNESS
We put a man upon the moon
We sent a probe up there to Mars
Invent machines to play our tune
Computer brains replacing hearts
But there's a place out there in Africa
Duals to the death are over food
Can't get a grain of wheat to Africa
We got a man up to the moon
And soon we'll have a person
With no mother or father
Soon you'll choose the kind of nose
On the baby that you're after
Soon we'll have our pate-gras
Synthesized from plastic
Soon we'll find out how to get
A grain of wheat to Afrique
Africa, Africa
Africa she bleeds, Africa in need
Africa, Africa
We preach our democratic sermon
We preach the evil ends of war
We peddle arms to any person
We send them satisfaction sure
But there's a place out there in Africa
Dealers in death are number one
Can't get a grain of wheat to Africa
Won't find a way to stop the guns
And there's a place out there in Africa
Duals to the death are over food
Can't get a grain of wheat to Africa
We got a man up to the moon
And soon we'll have a person
With no mother or father
Soon you'll choose the kind of nose
On the baby that you're after
Soon we'll have our pate-gras
Synthesized from plastic
Soon we'll find out how to get
A grain of wheat to Afrique
Africa, Africa
Africa she bleeds, Africa in need
Africa, Africa
Africa we'll be there soon
We got a man up to the moon
Africa we'll be there soon
We got a man up to the moon
Africa, Africa
Africa
