Why, why waste it when you can take it
In the barrio, in the barrio
Privatization and globalization
In the barrio, in the barrio
Another acquisition for the corporation
In the barrio, in the barrio
So far away, away

I know, I know it's way off, way off
They say, they say it's way off, way off
Radio, radio is way off, way off
I know, I know it's way off

Keep em outta sight, yeah, keep em outta mind
In the barrio, in the barrio
They got the guns, they got the knives
In the barrio, in the barrio
Who needs opportunity, who needs a chance
In the barrio, in the barrio
So far away, away

I know, I know it's way off, way off
They say, they say it's way off, way off
Radio, radio is way off, way off
I know, I know it's way off
Life as a commodity
