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
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
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
U will love me, I will love u
U will love me, I will love u
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
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
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
