Sacred - Amel Larrieux

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?

It’s the 21st century

And I still get followed around 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 that they can own it all

Is there nothing sacred anymore?

Well maybe there never was, at all
