A man dies in the street Many children go hungry Everybody's unhappy Reality bites us hard I can't help feeling trapped Can't we all just get along? Another day,another dollar [I guess] Incompetent leadership cripples us Stop the quarrels and bring back the morals We can't solve this problem alone Realizing this is key Everybody can help Can't you see we are bleeding Kids raising kids End the hypocrisy and bring back democracy Dedicate life to something worthwhile Oh the pain Mental regulating is monumental Youth uprising Good safe haven doesn't exist Oh the humanity Damn authority Amen Windows of my mind creep OPEN Saying America face your ignorance They offered me a visa Cause I'm a poetic immigrant Poking holes in they're borders To freedom Only to find Instead of the american dream We get the american nightmare Even those hardened by the n-word jargon A change gonna come [Fade out]
