Amel Larrieux - Sacred Lyrics

Is there nothing sacred anymore
When celebrities are deified
And we're still calling some
Countries third world and
Crimes against little ones
Are punished with little laws and

Girls are taught to hide their curves
As though they're flaws
And other girls are taught to expose them
But not own them and
Boys are taught they can own it all
Is there nothing sacred anymore

In the 21st century and I still get
Followed 'round in stores and
Governments are using our money for
Reasons other than what they say
They're using it for and

Small countries fold as their
Big debt keeps on growing and
Silent pain is golden under the guise of
Religion and boys are taught
They can own it all
Is there nothing sacred anymore
Well maybe there never was at all
