Lyrics
flavour of life (do we just accept the suffering, turn our back as the gunshots ring)
flavour of life (do we close our eyes, y'all ignore the cries, walk on forw'd, cos that's the way
life is)
Do you remember as kids, when you'd walk on home
Walk past the school bully, he won't leave that kid alone
Phone a friend, and maybe ask them this,
Now would you stand up, and maybe stop that kid?
From getting hurt, and going home to cry
Each day. Did you know one day that he'd die?
Not from old age, but a gun to his head
Sad thing is, he was already dead.
flavour of life (do we just accept the suffering, turn our back as the gunshots ring)
flavour of life (do we close our eyes, y'all ignore the cries, walk on forw'd, cos that's the way life is)
Did you just walk past that girl on the streets,
A highschool drop out, aged 18 with kids
Not a second glance, you didn't give her a chance,
She begged you to stop, but it was out of your hands
We live in a nation with "boundless plains to share"
But we don't care, the poor will always be there
Turn away those who knock on our doors,
cos It's not our fault, blame others who caused
The pain and the suffering, the war torn and the dying
The ones who make it just faking, so just leave them in prisons
We will do our good deeds, since we have all our needs
but only since, you know, we can cash in those receipts
(kids playing with guns, it's all in fun, didn't you know?) (He leaves for war, she won't see him anymore, cos he won't come home)
(a family on the street, begging coins to live, and you just walk on)
(it's just the flavour of life...)
flavour of life (do we just accept the suffering, turn our back as the gunshots ring)
flavour of life (do we close our eyes, y'all ignore the cries, walk on forw'd, cos that's the way
life is)
Do we really care, do we really share,
Are our hearts showing love, do we really play fair
Do we ignore the pain, Leave them out in the rain
Too scared to speak out, that's all everyone's saying
Is that the way life is, so we say let live,
The flavour of life, see what the world is
It ain't no perfect world til we all in heaven
And we can't imagine that, so what do we do then
