We look at the table |
|
And we look at the time |
|
We see a short fuse burning |
|
We're standing on a land mine |
|
You look at the cold soup |
|
I look at the gray wall |
|
I see a red flag burning |
|
Yeah, man we need a Santa Claus |
|
Down on the homeless avenue |
|
Down among the rocks and stones |
|
The cradle falls but the buck stops here |
|
Let's think about their hearts and bones |
|
And we all need a medicine man |
|
All need a medicine man |
|
Don't we need a medicine man? |
|
His shake and his rattle and his helping hand? |
|
See the meat of a nation |
|
On the back of a truck |
|
I think we're waste in a dumpster |
|
Hey, sorry kid, it's tough luck |
|
She was adorable |
|
And he was a good boy |
|
They were inseparable |
|
Yeah, bitten by the cold war |
|
Rags on the shapes of millions |
|
Tears among the cuts and blows |
|
The backbone snaps and the kids can't dance |
|
Let's think about their hearts and bones |
