And we look at the time
We see a short fuse burning
We're standing on a land mine
You look at the cold soup
I look at the gray wall
I see a red flag burning
Yeah, man we need a Santa Claus
Down on the homeless avenue
Down among the rocks and stones
The cradle falls but the buck stops here
Let's think about their hearts and bones
And we all need a medicine man
All need a medicine man
Don't we need a medicine man?
His shake and his rattle and his helping hand?
See the meat of a nation
On the back of a truck
I think we're waste in a dumpster
Hey, sorry kid, it's tough luck
She was adorable
And he was a good boy
They were inseparable
Yeah, bitten by the cold war
Rags on the shapes of millions
Tears among the cuts and blows
The backbone snaps and the kids can't dance
Let's think about their hearts and bones
We look at the table And we look at the time We see a short fuse burning We're standing on a land mine You look at the cold soup I look at the gray wall I see a red flag burning Yeah, man we need a Santa Claus Down on the homeless avenue Down among the rocks and stones The cradle falls but the buck stops here Let's think about their hearts and bones And we all need a medicine man All need a medicine man Don't we need a medicine man? His shake and his rattle and his helping hand? See the meat of a nation On the back of a truck I think we're waste in a dumpster Hey, sorry kid, it's tough luck She was adorable And he was a good boy They were inseparable Yeah, bitten by the cold war Rags on the shapes of millions Tears among the cuts and blows The backbone snaps and the kids can't dance Let's think about their hearts and bones Explain Request ×
