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

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

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

U will love me, I will love u

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
