[VERSE 1 — PAINFUL AND CLEAR] A
mother
cries!
Her
child
is
sick!
The
hospital
has
no
drugs!
A
child
walks
far
to
school!
The
classroom
has
no
books!
A
young
man
looks
for
work!
No
job!
No
hope!
No
future!
But
public
money
is
for
the
people!
Stealing
that
money
hurts
us
all!
CROWD:
No
corruption!

a

is
guilty.
[BRIDGE — SAD, THEN RISING] Think
of
the
child
with
no
food!
Think
of
the
patient
in
pain!
Think
of
the
family
with
no
money!
While
public
funds
disappear!
