Stand`by |
|
Walk in a corner shop |
|
See a shoplifting cop |
|
See the old lady with a gun |
|
See the hero try 2 run |
|
Nothing's what it seems, I mean |
|
It's not all dirty, but it's not all clean |
|
There's children paying bills |
|
There's monks buying thrills |
|
There's pride for sale in magazines |
|
There's pills for rent 2 make u clean |
|
Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother |
|
Woody Guthrie's land can't feed Mother |
|
Mothers weep, children sleep |
|
So much violence ends in silence |
|
It's a shame there's no one 2 blame |
|
For all the pain that life brings |
|
If u will just take me It might just complete me |
|
And together we can make a stand |
|
A waitress brings me lunch |
|
We meet but do not touch |
|
On TV, D.C. is selling lies |
|
While in the corner, King's dream dies |
|
Go 2 the counter, pay for me and my friend |
|
A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him |
|
The mayor has no cash |
|
Mothers weep, children sleep |
|
So much violence ends in silence |
|
It's a shame there's no one 2 blame |
|
For all the pain that life brings |
|
If u will just take me It might just complete me |
|
And together we can make a stand |
|
U will love me, I will love u |
|
Mothers weep, children sleep |
|
So much violence ends in silence |
|
It's a shame there's no one 2 blame |
|
For all the pain that life brings |
|
If u will just take me It might just complete me |
|
andtogether we can make a stand |
