Stand

Lyrics & Info	Tabs	Performances (63)

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 pride for sale in magazines  There 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 D.C. 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 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
