I'm not quite sure why I'm posting this. It just all kind of stunned me.
I didn't know that only $9 billion was what it would take to get clean drinking water to the Third World. Why hasn't that been done yet?

It would take political will and a co-ordinated effort for that to happen, two things that just don't exist in great abundance in the world.

Exactly , no one is willing.

They rather watch a movie or buy expensive clothing and jewelery.

Nice world we live in.

it doesn't happen to them, so why should they care? if it started happening to them, then they would care and do something about it. But it doesnt, so they dont.

Reading that in a music album is kind of odd, but those things make you stop and think for a second.

I love how it starts out normally and then just slowly degenerates into "The world is messed up."
