Stand — текст песни (Jewel)

Walk in a corner shop
See a shoplifting cop
See the old lady with a gun
See the hero try 2 run
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 just complete me
And together we can make a stand

A 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
A 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 just complete me
And together we can make a stand

U will love me, I will love u

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 just complete me
And together we can make a stand
