Lyrics

I ain't asking much but I don't know why
I grow the flowers and you watch them die
Tell me brother, where have you been
You don't love the hustle and you can't stand the rain
How many five dollar bills went through the hands of that man
He's saving for something I can't understand
The planes swoop in like a gull
And they grabbed your lunch, and blackened your soul
I'll wait while you look for your second command.
Threw your boots in the gutter and wiped off your hands
Tell me brother, where do you dream
Does it come out in sighs, does it come out in screams
How many sheets were turned down at the end of the day
And what about profits from selling their way
The trains tear in like a bull
Make us bow down with their magnetic pull
I'm heading home and I'm sitting alone
The ticket I bought you found a new home
I guess you really meant it this time
And who am I to say you're not doing fine.
How many children were lost, sold on the promise of glitter and gloss
The rain on the roof sounds like applause
The crowd broke through like the sun
Making you think you're the only one
