I cross the oceans
I cross the seas
I cross the mountains
Like a new disease

I cross the borders
I cross the line
Never to see the light
'Til the end of time

I've seen the canyons
I've seen the cities
I've seen the prisons
That take such pity

When it comes to you
When it comes to me
It's just money that will set you free

Hey my children
What seems important won't last forever
Hey my children
What seems important won't last forever

Take a look at the Earth
From a plane
You'll see the Earth
Cut up and in pain

Take a look at L.A.
From the sky
What you see
Should make you cry

Hey my children
What seems important won't last forever
Hey my children
What seems important won't last forever

I'm the scum of the Earth
I'm the scum of the Earth
I'm the scum of the Earth
I'm the scum of the Earth

I'm the scum of the Earth
I'm the scum of the Earth
I'm the scum of the Earth
I'm the scum of the Earth
I'm the scum of the Earth

I am a cancer
I'm the scum of the Earth
I am a cancer
I'm the scum of the Earth

I am a cancer
I'm the scum of the Earth
I am a cancer
I'm the scum of the Earth

I am humanity
I'm the scum of the Earth
I am humanity
I'm the scum of the Earth

I am humanity
I'm the scum of the Earth
I am humanity

Hey my children
What seems important won't last forever
Hey my children
What seems important won't last forever

Hey my children
What seems important won't last forever
Hey my children
What seems important won't last forever
