"Stand" Lyrics

5.0 / 5
Song updated, review now!
Walk in a corner shop
See a shoplifting cop
See the old lady with a gun
See the hero try to run
Nothing's what it seems
I mean it's not all dirty but it's not all clean

There's children paying bills
There's monks buying thrills
There's pride for sale in magazines
There's pills for rent to make you clean
Marvin Gaye
There's no brother
Brother
Woody Guthrie's land can't feed mother

Mothers weep
Children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one to blame for all the pain that life brings
If you will just take me it might just complete me
And together we can make a stand

A waitress brings me lunch
We meet but do not touch
On TV D.C.'s is selling lies
While in the corner King's dream dies

Go to the counter
Pay for me and my friend
A homeless man pulls out a roll
Says it's on him
The mayor has no cash
He said he spent it on hookers and hash

Mothers weep
Children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one to blame for all the pain that life brings
If you will just take me it might just complete me
And together we can make a stand

You will love me
I will love you

You will love me
I will love you
(Go to the counter)
(Pull out some cash)
(He spent it on hookers an hash)

Mothers weep
Children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one to blame for all the pain that life brings
If you will just take me it might just complete me
And together we can make a stand

Mothers weep
(You will love me)
Children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
(I will love you)
It's a shame there's no one to blame for all the pain that life brings
(You will love me)
If you will just take me it might just complete me
(I will love you)
And together we can make a stand

Mothers weep
(You will love me)
Children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
(I will love you)
It's a shame there's no one to blame for all the pain that life brings
(You will love me)
If you will just take me it might just complete me
(I will love you)
And together we can make a stand
