Lyrics
Cry me a river and I'll swim to shore. Give me some loving, then don't come back no more.
'Aint seen the sunshine since i don't know when, don't think I'm ever gonna' see it again.
A mother's son is born to die, I need to cover my ears 'cuz I can't stand to hear her scream why.
I'm Disgusted, I'm Disgusted.
We blame the Arabs they blame the Jews, I learn my history on the evening news. The world needs some lovin' like it done before. Don't think we're ever gonna' see that no more.
A mother's son is born to die, I need to cover my ears 'cuz I can't stand to hear her scream why.
I'm Disgusted, I'm Disgusted.
Bloods thicker than water, and now so is oil. So a young man takes his final breath on some foreign soil. They give us some lovin' until the camera's gone and they cry us a river, but the same old shit just goes on and on.
I'm Disgusted, I'm Disgusted, I'm Disgusted with the world.
Cry me a river, cry me a river, cry me a river......
