Walk in a corner shop
See a shop lifting 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 or 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
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
