What has happened to our town
|
There's people sleeping on the ground
|
Cold and lost, they fear the night
|
Left alone, they'll lose the fight
|
|
Hadn't we better reach for more than just a dime
|
Shouldn't we try to talk that boy out of his crime
|
Haven't you had it knowing nothing's getting solved
|
Maybe we'd better, better get involved
|
|
Chorus:
|
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
|
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
|
If we found a way to reconcile
|
We could stop the hurtin'
|
|
Families livin' in their cars and kids run numbers out of bars
|
Knowing pride won't pay the bills, men work jobs beneath their skills
|
Hadn't we better hand out more than just a line
|
Shouldn't we try to find solutions with our minds
|
Haven't you had it knowing nothing's getting solved
|
Maybe we'd better, better get involved
|
|
Chorus
