I drive along in my car
banging my head against the wall
throbbing to the music
not a care in the world
They are standing there
a sign in hand
a hope lost in the land
Please won't someone care for us
People drive by
not even a caring look
not even a step on the brake
just thrust on the gas
Look at what has become of us
look at our future
no one cares
Brother can you spare a dime
My heart aches like a man's last look on life
uncertainty make me want to help
A man's wife and child go hungry
His self esteem goes lower
my self esteem goes lower still
My intellect says help
but I can't
it's not my fault
But the guilt goes on
the mind thinks on
the heart reacts
and one day
the brakes will slam
