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
