Lyrics
Hey baby spare some change?
See that, see that, see that
See that man
See that, see that, see that
See that man
See that man sittin' in front of the border line
He ain't got the time to argue what's yours and what is mine
See that man holdin' his hand out in desperation
He don't see salvation, no God and sure no nation
See, all workin' for the means to the end of our situation
And, all hopin' for the day that the powers see abdication
And run, I said it gonna come, Lord, I said it gonna come
(See that, see that) Mmm, mmm
(See that man) Mmm
See that man sittin' in front of the jewelry store
He can't walk no more he just too damn poor
See that man holdin' his eyes from the glarin' sun
He ain't got no one, his hopes all been undone
See, all workin' for the means to the end of our situation
And, all hopin' for the day that the powers see abdication
And run, I said it gonna come, Lord, I said it gonna come
(See that, see that) Mmm, mmm
(See that, see that) Mmm
N-n-n, nothin' good comes from nothin'
Nothin' comes from nothin' good
Why you spend the whole day bluffin'
Come on man do what you should
What you mean the world ain't easy
What you mean the world ain't mine
Last I checked there were no price tags
Hangin' on them shady pines
What you say when you say nothin'
What you mean when you say lies
Politician tell me somethin'
What you got behind them eyes, cause
We all workin' for the means to the end of our situation
We all hopin' for the day that the powers see abdication
And run, I said it gonna come, Lord, I said it gonna come
(See that, see that) Mmm, mmm
(See that man) Mmm
(See that, see that) Mmm
See, that man
See, that man, Lord
See, that man, oh
See, that man, my brother if you can, see
Look to my brother if you can, oh (See that)
See that man, (See that) Mmm
(See that)
(See that) Mm
(See that) Mm
(See that man) Mm
(What does it mean?)
(These are battles are going to have continously)
(There is no single answer except to say)
(Okay)
