Bilingual
People on the street now
Faces long and grim
Souls are feeling heavy and
Faith is growing thin
Fears are getting stronger
Feel them on the rise
Hopelessness got some by the throat
You can see it in their eyes
I said how come?
ย
How come?
ย
Everybody on a shoestring
Everybody in a row
Everybody on an old jet plane
Crossing their fingers and toes
Government man spin his politics
'Til they've got you pinned
Everybody trying to reach out to each other
But they don't know where to begin
I said how come I can't tell
The free world from a living hell?
I said how come?
ย
How come all I see
Is a child of God in misery?
I said how come?
ย
The pistol now as prophet
The bullet some kind of lord and king
Fame is the only promise
That this so-called savior's gonna bring
Love can be a liar
Justice can be a thief
And freedom can be an empty cup
From which everybody wanna drink
I said how come I can't tell
The free world from a living hell?
I said how come?
ย
How come all I see
Is a child of God in misery?
I said how come?
ย
It's just man killing man
Killing man, killing man, killing man
I don't understand it
It's just man killing man
Killing man, killing man, killing man
I don't understand it
ย
It's just man killing man
Killing man, killing man, killing man
Killing man, killing man, killing man
Killing man, killing man, killing man
I don't understand it
I don't understand it
I don't understand it
I don't understand it
How come?
I said how come?
How come?
I said how come?
