People on the street now Faces long and grim Souls are feeling heavy And faith is growing thin Fears are getting stronger You can feel them on the rise Hopelessness got some by the throat you can see it in their eyes I said how come How come Everybody on a shoestring Everybody in a hole Everybody on an old jet plane crossing their fingers and toes Government man spin his politics till they got you pinned Everybody trying to reach out to each other But they don't know where to begin I said how come I can't tell The free world From living hell I said how come How come All I see Is a child of god In misery I said how come The pistol now as prophet The bullet some kind of lord and king But pain is the only promise that this so called savior is gonna bring
Love can be a liar And justice can be a thief And freedom can be an empty cup from which everybody want to drink I said how come I can't tell The free world From living hell I said how come How come All i see Is a child of god In misery I said how come It's just man k**ing man k**ing man k**ing man k**ing man I don't understand it It's just man k**ing man k**ing man k**ing man k**ing man I don't understand it It's just man k**ing man k**ing man k**ing man k**ing man k**ing man k**ing man k**ing man k**ing man k**ing man I don't understand it I don't understand it I don't understand it I don't understand it How come I said how come How come I said how come
