Every now and then I get a little bit angry With your children It makes me want to cry and then it make me want to be the one Who teaches them
But they just stand there looking Like they're at a zoo
Between you and me That's not the way that it should be
People feel guilty when they see the dead walking Through the city Pull a dollar from their pockets for a little tin cup To make them go away
Well no one here's applauding His act of mercy
Between you and me That's not the way that it should be
Birds of prey are diving on the field mice are running From the war machines Stay long enough to get a laugh And they're on their way again
No one stops to wonder Where it all ends
The homeless and poor are glad to go to war To fight for the right to be put down even more The drugs that you buy cost to much to get us high And the kids across the nation fight to get an education
