Amel Larrieux Sacred Lyrics

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
