Irrelevant Battles

1, 2, 3, 4

You're all too busy saving children in Chile

And helping flood victims on the other side of the world

And when the war was over in Vietnam

You had three adopted boys and five adopted girls

You're the first to throw parcels when they're starving in Afghanistan

India, Kenya, or any-a where, really

I seen some tramp asking for the time on the street

You just said, "Sorry, I'm fast, but not as fast as your feet"

You're too busy fighting your irrelevant battles

To see what's going on in your own backyard

Too busy fighting your irrelevant battles

To see what's going on in your own backyard

'Cause some of us are having a hard, hard time

Yeah, some of us are having a hard, hard time

And you're all too busy saving children in Chile

And helping flood victims on the other side of the world

And when the war was over in Vietnam

You had three adopted boys and five adopted girls

You're out on the streets with your little placards

Marching up and down, saying, "Tear it down"

I don't think you've even seen what you're talking about

Except for the tourist version, no doubt

You're too busy fighting your irrelevant battles

To see what's going on in your own backyard

Too busy fighting your irrelevant battles

To see what's going on in your own backyard

'Cause some of us are having a hard, hard time

You know that some of us are having a hard, hard time

'Cause some of us are having a hard, hard time
