I wonder how many fingers froze off late last night -
I wonder how many toes never found their way home?
How many diabetics died of insulin shock
How many of the ill crashed and burned?
I wonder how many people couldn't write a note for help
Or read the most vital instructions?
I wonder how many children went to bed hungry
In the wealthiest nation in the world?
I already know what the powerful think
I've had it up to here from the rich
Their think-tanks produce the most ghastly lies
Tell them they're geniuses but we're only dirt
I wonder how many went to sleep for the last time
I wonder. How many never woke up?
Because their neighborhood had to look nice
No ragged tents or coats to roll up
I wonder how many fingers froze off late last night?
