Tears Ain't Enough |
Got my belly, for her pillow |
And the rain, to wash her clothes |
Cement mattress, walls of cardboard |
We ain’t helpless, we’re homeless and it shows |
Those concerned, talk it up on cable |
They’re so worried, «the shame», well it’s not right |
Mr. Bigshot, no action, no justice |
What’s your number, can I call you tonight? |
Tears don’t put food in my baby’s mouth |
Or corduroy on her skinny legs |
Tears freeze like us when the heat goes south |
Tears don’t give when my baby begs |
Yeah, your tears ain’t enough |
When the going get’s rough |
Tears ain’t enough |
There’s a moral plague and a greedy congress |
They won’t stop the drugs or the flying lead |
I wake up a little sadder each morning |
'Cause one more innocent child’s dead |
Hey de hey, hi de ho |
Yes, I’m ready, man to go go go |
To another planet, for another life |
Dear god how will I feed my kid tonight? |
Yeah, your tears ain’t enough |
When the going gets rough |
Tears ain’t enough |
