How Come |
| People on the street now |
| Faces long and grim |
| Souls are feeling heavy |
| And faith is growing thin |
| Fears are getting stronger |
| You can feel them on the rise |
| Hopelessness got some by the throat you can see it in their eyes |
| I said how come |
| How come |
| Everybody on a shoestring |
| Everybody in a hole |
| Everybody on an old jet plane crossing their fingers and toes |
| Government man spin his politics till they got you pinned |
| Everybody trying to reach out to each other |
| But they don’t know where to begin |
| I said how come |
| I can’t tell |
| The free world |
| From living hell |
| I said how come |
| How come |
| All I see |
| Is a child of god |
| In misery |
| I said how come |
| The pistol now as prophet |
| The bullet some kind of lord and king |
| But pain is the only promise that this so called savior is gonna bring |
| Love can be a liar |
| And justice can be a thief |
| And freedom can be an empty cup from which everybody want to drink |
| I said how come |
| I can’t tell |
| The free world |
| From living hell |
| I said how come |
| How come |
| All i see |
| Is a child of god |
| In misery |
| I said how come |
| It’s just man killing man |
| Killing man |
| Killing man |
| Killing man |
| I don’t understand it |
| It’s just man killing man |
| Killing man |
| Killing man |
| Killing man |
| I don’t understand it |
| It’s just man killing man |
| Killing man |
| Killing man |
| Killing man |
| Killing man |
| Killing man |
| Killing man |
| Killing man |
| Killing man |
| I don’t understand it |
| I don’t understand it |
| I don’t understand it |
| I don’t understand it |
| How come |
| I said how come |
| How come |
| I said how come |
