Cry No More

I’m tired of crying

For the underprivileged

For the blacks, the women,

For even black women

I'm tired of crying

For the starving children

For the Irish,

I’m tired of crying

For the unemployed, the one eyed Jews,

I’m tired of crying

For refugees, for amputees,

I’m tired of crying

For the pain of the third world,

The poor unfortunates of Hiroshima, Bikini,

I’m tired of crying

America ... America,

I’m tired of crying for America.

I’m tired of crying

For collecting boxes, for noble causes,

For victims, more victims

Victims of violence, and protection,

Victims of privilege,

More violence, more victims

For teachers’ lies, for poisoned milk,

I’m tired of crying, it changes nothing

For the abuse of sex, the endless rape,

The decay, the decaying,

I’m tired of crying

For the broken, broken, broken hopes,

Broken hearts and promises

For the broken backs and the broken dreams,

I’m tired of crying

It’s a savage world

A savage world

I'm tired

And I just want to cry

For me.
