Tears Ain't Enough

Got my belly, for her pillow
 And the rain, to wash her clothes
 Cement mattress, walls of cardboard
 We ain't helpless, we're homeless and it shows
 Those concerned, talk it up on cable
 They're so worried, "the shame", well it's not right
 Mr. Bigshot, no action, no justice
 What's your number, can I call you tonight?
 Tears don't put food in my baby's mouth
 Or corduroy on her skinny legs
 Tears freeze like us when the heat goes south
 Tears don't give when my baby begs
 Yeah, your tears ain't enough
 When the going get's rough
 Tears ain't enough
 There's a moral plague and a greedy congress
 They won't stop the drugs or the flying lead
 I wake up a little sadder each morning
 'Cause one more innocent child's dead
 hey de hey, hi de ho
 Yes i'm ready, man to go go go
 To another planet, for another life
 Dear god how will I feed my kid tonight?
 Yeah, your tears ain't enough
 When the going gets rough
 Tears ain't enough...
