for you

The song is about the patronising practice of "sponsoring" children from poor

countries (usually Africa)

by giving money to the catholic school/church which was supposed to go the

countries in question and the donor

got a photo of the person who they would "name"....most of the money stayed

within the churches and

precious little ever actually helped the people themselves.
