Famines will be famines, banquets will be banquets
                                                 
Some spend winter in a palace, some spend it in blankets.
                                             
Don't wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away
                                              
Don't shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today

                 
Time to end the praying
                    
Listen what they're saying

Get up off our knees
                                   
You can wag your finger 'till your anger's sore
                          
Shake your head 'till it shakes no more
                                   
You can wag your finger 'till your anger's sore
                          
Shake your head 'till it shakes no more

                                               
Paupers will be paupers, bankers will be bankers
                                               
Some own pennies in a jar, some own oil tankers
                                           
What may sound like tomorrow could be ours today
                                                      
There's no more need for sorrow if we get off our knees to pray

                 
Time to end the praying
                    
Listen what they're saying

Get up off our knees
                                   
You can wag your finger 'till your anger's sore
                          
Shake your head 'till it shakes no more
                                   
You can wag your finger 'till your anger's sore
                          
Shake your head 'till it shakes no more

                                                 
Countries will be countries, borders will be borders
                                                 
Some have lost their folks at war, some have given orders
                                             
Don't wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away
                                              
Don't shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today

                 
Time to end the praying
                    
Listen what they're saying

Get up off our knees
                                   
You can wag your finger 'till your anger's sore
                          
Shake your head 'till it shakes no more
                                   
You can wag your finger 'till your anger's sore
                          
Shake your head 'till it shakes no more
