Show me where it's hiding......

Show me where it's hiding
I was along the millions
pressing 95555
Compelled to do my part
Assisting in the providing
I've seen this place
Before and after
Forgetting it was devastated by a natural disaster
Excuse me for blaming you, you, and YOU
Lying through your teeth
Proclaiming things are done that you can't do
Unable to complete
Raising money just helped you compete
in Mr. and Mrs. Thief 2010
On our TV screens begging 10 minutes after the earthquake began.
Pleading for the people to react
Getting your greedy hands ready to snatch
All the rupees, the euro, dinero
Touche my fellow
Sitting cool and mellow
Forgetting who's underground
Those people scream for help
And you're no where to be found.
Who's helping Haiti?!
Who's helping the babies?!
The Francois' need help
Where is Toussaint when you need him?
Rescue workers surrounding the children
But can't feed them.
I see you.
Can you see me?
Can you fear me?
I'm coming to get it
Make a permanent withdrawal
Coming to reclaim my shit
As I sit
In this chair
Thousands of miles away
Contemplating back and forth of what I could say.
'SHOW ME WHERE IT'S HIDING!"
Our money was to be used for the purpose of providing
Sighing
Damn near crying
Not understanding why
Then......
I remember the award you won
Mr. and Mrs. Thief 2010
In all of your pageantry
Who's helping Haiti?!
Who's helping these babies?!
