Lyrics

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

Chorus

U will love me, I will love u

Chorus
(Untill dies out)
