STAND

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 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 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
