The Face of the Nation

As I run through this life Sometimes it breaks my heart Seein' all the old people goin' downtown Stumblin' their way through the dark And those little ba-babies cry For their mothers' warmth Sometimes I feel so helpless I don't know where to start And the face of the nation Keeps changin' and changin' The face of the nation I don't recognize it no more The face of the nation The face of the nation So many lonely people Damn those broken dreams Yes, I know it could be better You can say that about anything Some got it worse than me Some got it worse than you See the people starvin' underneath the tree You wonder what happened to the golden rule The face of the nation Keeps changin' and changin' The face of the nation I don't recognize it no more The face of the nation The face of the nation You know babe, I'm gonna keep on tryin' To put things right If only for me and you 'Cause the devil sleeps tonight And your face of the nation Keeps changin' and changin' The face of the nation I don't recognize it no more And your face of the nation Keeps changin' and changin' The face of the nation I don't recognize it no more The face of the nation Hey, the face of the nation The face of the nation Hey, the face of the nation The face of the nation Hey, the face of the nation The face of the nation The face of the nation The face of the nation Hey, the face of the nation
