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
