Half the planet dies of hunger while the rest stand idle by,
Fill their ears with noise and anger; they don't hear the millions cry.

And it's take, take, take,
No one wanna give, give, give,
And it's take, take, take,
Can't you see the way we live'
And it's take, take, take,
No one wanna give, give, give,
And it's take, take, take,
Can't you see the way we live'

There ain't no help for the hopeless, yet there's food a mountain high,
Now the west can reap the profits as they squeeze the third world dry.

And it's take, take, take,
No one wanna give, give, give,
And it's take, take, take,
Can't you see the way we live'
And it's take, take, take,
No one wanna give, give, give,
And it's take, take, take,
Can't you see the way we live'

As we see the hungry faces, can we see the pain within'
What we're doing to the helpless, we're doing it to him.

And it's take, take, take,
No one wanna give, give, give,
And it's take, take, take,
Can't you see the way we live'
And it's take, take, take,
No one wanna give, give, give,
And it's take, take, take,
Can't you see the way we live'
And it's take, take, take.
