Ten In 2010
Bad Religion · The Gray Race
Sun baked pavement encroaches on us
Haves and have nots together at last
Brutally engaged in mortal combat
10 in 2010
10 in 2010
What kind of God orchestrates such a thing? (10 in 2010, 10 in 2010)
Ten billion people all suffering (10 in 2010, 10 in 2010)
Truth is not an issue just hungry mouths to feed (10 in 2010, 10 in 2010)
Forget what you want, scrounge the things you need (10 in 2010, 10 in 2010)
10 in 2010
10 in 2010... ok
Happy and content it can't happen to you (10 in 2010, 10 in 2010)
Fifteen years we'll think of a solution (10 in 2010, 10 in 2010)
It won't just appear in one day (10 in 2010, 10 in 2010)
For 10 in 2010 we're well on our way (10 in 2010, 10 in 2010)
10 in 2010
10 in 2010
Like piercing ear darts, I heard the news today
10 billion people...coming your way
(10 in 20)
10 in 20
10 in 2010...
