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
CHORUS
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
He said he spent it on hookers and hash
