Lyrics

[00:03.23] Stand`by
[00:03.24] Walk in a corner shop
[00:10.98] See a shoplifting cop
[00:13.72] See the old lady with a gun
[00:15.00] See the hero try 2 run
[00:16.54] Nothing's what it seems, I mean
[00:18.51] It's not all dirty, but it's not all clean
[00:18.51] There's children paying bills
[00:21.46] There's monks buying thrills
[00:23.34] There's pride for sale in magazines
[00:25.56] There's pills for rent 2 make u clean
[00:27.00] Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother
[00:27.74] Woody Guthrie's land can't feed Mother
[00:27.74]
[00:31.76] Mothers weep, children sleep
[00:35.00] So much violence ends in silence
[00:40.19] It's a shame there's no one 2 blame
[00:44.40] For all the pain that life brings
[00:44.55] If u will just take me It might just complete me
[00:45.48] And together we can make a stand
[00:44.19]
[00:44.55] A waitress brings me lunch
[00:45.48] We meet but do not touch
[00:47.98] On TV, D.C. is selling lies
[00:49.61] While in the corner, King's dream dies
[00:51.24] Go 2 the counter, pay for me and my friend
[00:53.50] A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him
[00:55.78] The mayor has no cash
[01:02.10]
[01:02.75] Mothers weep, children sleep
[01:06.57] So much violence ends in silence
[01:11.07] It's a shame there's no one 2 blame
[01:15.62] For all the pain that life brings
[01:17.77] If u will just take me It might just complete me
[01:19.73] And together we can make a stand
[01:20.27]
[01:23.30] U will love me, I will love u
[01:24.91]
[01:26.46] Mothers weep, children sleep
[01:28.71] So much violence ends in silence
[01:30.98] It's a shame there's no one 2 blame
[01:33.66] For all the pain that life brings
[01:35.42] If u will just take me It might just complete me
[01:37.45] andtogether we can make a stand
