Stand

Walk in a corner shop 
See a shoplifting cop
See the old lady with a gun 
See the hero try [bad word] 
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

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 [bad word] me 
And together we can make a stand 

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 
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 [bad word] me 
And together we can make a stand 

U will love me, I will love u
