Who is that boy with no socks and shoes
Who is that girl they call a whore
Who is that man who lost his hand at war
Who is that child who walks in solitude
The one who starts his work at four
and paid by those who want to keep him poor
and slaves for those who want to keep him
We hear the crimes of the multitude
Hear of the man who fought the war
Whose girl had left for one who gave her more
Oppressed by those who have the means to shoot
Oppressed by those who claim the law
But break what they swore to protect before
While the Afflicted sing together
