Stand |
| Walk in a corner shop |
| See a shoplifting cop |
| See the old lady with a gun |
| See the hero try to 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 to make you 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 to blame |
| For all the pain that life brings |
| If you 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 to 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 |
| He said he spent it on hookers and hash |
| Mothers weep, children sleep |
| So much violence ends in silence |
| It’s a shame there’s no one to blame |
| For all the pain that life brings |
| If you will just take me, it might just complete me |
| And together we can make a stand |
| You will love me, I will love you |
| (Go to the counter) |
| You will love me (Pull out some cash) |
| I will love you (He spent it on hookers and hash) |
| Mothers weep, children sleep |
| So much violence ends in silence |
| It’s a shame there’s no one to blame |
| For all the pain that life brings |
| If you will just take me, it might just complete me |
| And together we can make a stand |
| Mothers weep, children sleep |
| So much violence ends in silence |
| It’s a shame there’s no one to blame |
| For all the pain that life brings |
| If you will just take me, it might just complete me |
| And together we can make a stand |
