To people for human rights in China free speech is denied
And people in jails there for their rights have died
Where thousands of innocent people are in jails serving long periods of time
For speaking their minds though that of course not a crime.

In many Countries minorities they persecute
Where in God and religion there only is one truth
Where the majority religion with disregard for others rule
Some people in their ignorance are cruel.

Even in so called free Western Countries human rights are abused
And people of crimes are wrongfully accused
And people's basic rights are eroded every day
And only for the very wealthy there's fair play.

And those guilty of awful crimes against humanity
In some Countries are allowed to live free
Of any punishment for their sins of old age they will die
With power and wealth the good life they enjoy.

In a World of corruption and moral decay
The wealthy out of trouble buy their way
And those with the most money the shots always call
And there is no such a thing as a fair go for all.
