H2R I - هذا ما كان
[Intro]
May I ask in what way your life is contributing to society
As you sit here day after day after day
In this dark room, stringing along on that stupid guitar?
Have you ever thought about that?
What are you doing for the world or for other people?
Day after day, hour after hour, night after night
