stand jewel
walk in a corner shop
see a shoplifting cop
see the old lady with a gun
see the hero try 2 run
nothings what it seems, i mean
its not all dirty, but its not all clean
theres children paying bills
theres monks buying thrills
theres pride for sale in magazines
theres pills for rent 2 make u clean
marvin gaye, theres no brother, brother
woody guthries land cant feed mother
chorus
mothers weep, children sleep
so much violence ends in silence
its a shame theres 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, kings dream dies
go 2 the counter, pay for me and my friend
a homeless man pulls out a roll, says its on him
the mayor has no cash
he said he spent it on hookers and hash
chorus
u will love me, i will love u
