The Nth Degree of Heartlessness
(words & music: t.h. gorman ©2021 teztunesmusic)

lyrics

**END HUNGER NOW**
20,000 children between the ages of newborn and 5 years old starve to death on this planet...
Every. Single. Day.

I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t feed a starving child
With money that they’re never gonna spend
This travesty, it eats at me, you know
It really drives me wild
And I can’t see it ever gonna end

As long as there are greedy sons of bitches in this world
This holocaust of hunger will remain
As 7 million children starve,
They’re someone’s boys and girls,
This year and next year, over and again

Well, it’s the nth degree of heartlessness
It’s zero Kelvin cold
And if this doesn’t stop, we’re takin’ names
And every one of these fat cats will open their billfolds
We’re sick to death of real life hunger games

They can spark imagination as they touch the face of god
And I know it’d put my ego to the test
But if I was rich as Midas, I wouldn’t want my epilogue
To read I’d turned into somebody I detest

But these richest men on Planet Earth
Are dirt poor where it counts
Starving children just don’t go with the décor
They don’t appear to give a fuck
As our condemnation mounts
They shove care and compassion out the door

Well, it’s the nth degree of heartlessness
It’s zero Kelvin cold
And if this doesn’t stop, we’re takin’ names
And every one of these fat cats will open their billfolds
We’re sick to death of real life hunger games

In this time of wealth we can’t ignore 7 million mothers’ cries
It’s not mutually exclusive, that’s for sure
Bellies can be filled and silver rockets they can fly
The winds of change are too strong to ignore
Anymore

Yeah, it’s the nth degree of heartlessness
It’s zero Kelvin cold
And if this doesn’t stop, we’re raisin’ Cain
And every one of these fat cats will take off their blindfolds
We’re sick to death of real life hunger games

Yeah, it’s the nth degree of heartlessness
It’s zero Kelvin cold
And if this doesn’t stop, we’re pointin’ blame
And every one of these fat cats will open their billfolds
It’s long past time to close these hunger games

I'm just an old Canadian fart writing & recording tunes, trying to capture the vibe of pre-millennial popular musics, rock, blues, jazz, funk, country, pop, etc. Lumiere and Knowhere are primarily indie pop, and The New Codiac Blues is a collection of blues-based tunes.
They're dotted with selected collabs with uber-talented friends in the UK, USA, Australia and Bulgaria of a variety of sounds. ... more
