Slept like the dead last night Pavement for my head last night Voices in my head I'm hungry for my bread Big Issues, Big Issues Took my grievance to the wire today Politician was a liar today Gonna get what I desire Think I'll start a fire Big Issues, Big Issues Curbstone for my head I'm hungry for my bread Big Issues, Big Issues Brother, let's get through this Well we'll live, laugh, and cry You gotta get right down to it You can't just lay down and let hope die We are gonna do our best here To be all that we can But let's make one thing clear now You gotta get real and find a new plan
