about

This track is deep! About how we here in the US are insulated and all too often unaware of the atrocities happening elsewhere in the world.

SMALL SACRIFICE


Lyrics Laurie Costoso Coen
Music Mark W. Costoso


Anywhere, USA, a perfect warm and sunny day
Safe and sound, far from the fray, kids like dandelions grow
Somewhere, a suburban street, children play on lawns so neat
Grinning gleeful, sticky sweet, the ice cream man they did just meet


CHORUS
Somewhere half way 'round the world another bomb is quickly hurled
And what was one a little girl is blown to smithereens
In some distant far off place, a nameless boy now has no face
An old man cries "it's a disgrace"
Small sacrifice to The Human Race, or so they say


Families driving everywhere, seemingly without a care
Off to every country fair while tensions mount and flow
Driving 'round in SUVs mindless of government decrees
Or other peoples' miseries and caring not to know


CHORUS


Collateral damage is what it's called and all the while, we're at the mall
Feel the anger, taste the gall, resentment isn't sweet
Someday soon our time will come, an answer due to everyone
It's we who'll be under the gun and promises to keep
