walk in a corner shop
see a shoplifting cop
see the old lady with a gun
see the hero try to 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 to make you 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 to blame
for all the pain that life brings
if you 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 dc’s selling lies
while in the corner
king’s dream dies
go to 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 to blame
for all the pain that life brings
if you will just take me
it might just complete me
and together we can make a stand
you will love me
i will love you
[go to the counter pull out some cash]
you will love me
[he spent it on hookers and hash]
i will love you
mothers weep children sleep
so much violence ends in silence
it’s a shame there’s no one to blame
for all the pain that life brings
if you 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 to blame
for all the pain that life brings
if you 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 to blame
for all the pain that life brings
if you will just take me
it might just complete me
and together we can make a stand
