United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF; /ˈjuːnɨsɛf/ YEW-ni-sef) is an international charity, headquartered in New York City, that provides long-term humanitarian and developmental assistance to children and mothers in developing countries. It is one of the members of the United Nations Development Group and its Executive Committee.
UNICEF was created by the United Nations General Assembly on December 11, 1946, to provide emergency food and healthcare to children in countries that had been devastated by World War II. In 1954, UNICEF became a permanent part of the United Nations System and its name was shortened from the original United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund but it has continued to be known by the popular acronym based on this old name.
UNICEF relies on contributions from governments and private donors and UNICEF's total income for 2008 was $3,372,540,239. Governments contribute two thirds of the organization's resources; private groups and some 6 million individuals contribute the rest through the National Committees. It is estimated that 91.8% of their revenue is distributed to Program Services. UNICEF's programs emphasize developing community-level services to promote the health and well-being of children. UNICEF was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965 and the Prince of Asturias Award of Concord in 2006.

SAFE!
Fight inside for blood an oil
Fight The War not asking why [what?]
Only pain who got the control
Army of hypocrisy
Crucified from regrets
The voice of emptiness
Living a fuckin life lost
Where death is the only price to pay
And there's NO ESCAPE from the lies
With fear in their eyes
Crucified from regrets
A voice for the emptiness
In the hands of violence
Haunted and mutilated
Inside your fight Crawling again
The name is none on the tombstone
Are dead but don't even know yet
Disperation that lives in them
They soon will be free
Yeah goddamn free from the faults
That were never been inflicted
Crucified from regrets
The voice of emptiness
In the hands of violence
They're haunted and mutilated
Your madness is endless
World wide war disorder
The times are so unsafe
No escape from the lies
With fear in their eyes
The times are so unsafe
Help them save their souls
Entrapped in the bullets
Killing millions of people
The system must be shaken.
This is the new way.
Ripping me out! Out of safe, out of warm, out of dead.
Ripping me out! Out of breath, out of blood, out of
skin.
Ripping me out! Out of space, out of time, out of mind.
Ripping me out! Out of me, out of you, out of this.
Can’t you let me alone? Get out!
Can’t you see in my mind? Get out!
Can’t you feel this inside? Get out!
I want to die here in this!
Virus, in the system. Voices, in my head.
Virus, no defense. Forces, I’m undead.
Your life, your old life, is worth nothing.
It will burn away in a cloud of shattered dreams,
and old songs about love.
The things that you believed in are gone.
Ripping me out! Into pain, into fear, into here.
Ripping me out! Into lies, into sighs, into eyes.
Ripping me out! Into rage, into cage, into dark.
Ripping me out! Into here, into now, into this.
Won’t you just let me bleed? Get up!
Won’t you help feed my fear? Get up!
Won’t you maintain the lie? Get up!
Just let me die here in this!
Virus, in the system. Voices, in my head.
Virus, no defense. Forces, I’m undead.
I have taken away your old, dead life.
I give you the glorious gift of pain
to teach you the new way.
The pain of re-birth. I am the Destroyer.
Blessed be! Chaos, in the system.
Screaming, in my head.
Evil, words unspoken.
Stripping, bleeding red.
Virus, in the system. Voices, in my head.
