Nobody Owns the Earth

Verse 1

Nobody came to this Earth owning land

So how did we end up selling what no one ever planned

Even rainwater free from the sky above

Can get you fined for collecting it tell me is that justice or love

What kind of world are we living in today

Where a thief can get a homeowner punished for pushing him away

Where someone squats in your house and you can lose your home

And somehow they call it normal tell me what's gone wrong

Sometimes I feel the laws were made to favor thieves

While honest people suffer struggling just to breathe

Tell me how to teach a child who's only trying to save a life

That doing good could bring him trouble even when his heart is right

Chorus

Who owns this world tell me who holds the deed

Who owns this world while the hungry still plead

Who owns this world tell me who makes the rules

Who owns this world when the powerful play us for fools

Post-Chorus

Tell me who tell me who

Who owns this world

Tell me who tell me who

Who owns this world

Verse 2

Maybe robots will be more compassionate someday

While we humans lose our hearts and throw our empathy away

Some say certain diseases were created in a lab

But without convincing proof how do we know what's fact

For money some would sacrifice millions without a second thought

While the value of a human life gets sold and bought

We spend our time creating wars across the world

While innocent people suffer and their dreams are left unfurled

Trillions spent on weapons on destruction and despair

When that same money could fight hunger everywhere

It could help us build a future where more people stay alive

Instead of funding endless wars we could give the world a chance to thrive

Chorus

Who owns this world tell me who holds the deed

Who owns this world while the hungry still plead

Who owns this world tell me who makes the rules

Who owns this world when the powerful play us for fools

Post-Chorus

Tell me who tell me who

Who owns this world

Tell me who tell me who

Who owns this world

Bridge

Nobody came here owning the Earth

Nobody leaves this world taking it away

So why do we fight for what was never ours to keep

Why do we build our fortunes while the world can't even eat

Verse 3

A healthy man is bad for business that's what some might say

Cause he won't spend his money on pills or hospital stays

I'm not saying every doctor wants to see us fall

But why does profit sometimes seem to matter most of all

Imagine you invent something cheaper something good

Something that could help humanity like nothing ever could

But if your invention threatens someone's profitable game

Could you become a target just for trying to make a change

A world where doing good can make you pay the price

Where protecting someone's profits matters more than human life

An invention meant to help us could threaten someone's throne

And the person who created it might never make it home

Chorus

Who owns this world tell me who holds the deed

Who owns this world while the hungry still plead

Who owns this world tell me who makes the rules

Who owns this world when the powerful play us for fools

Outro

Tell me

Who owns this world
