How Come

Lyrics

People on the street now
 Faces long and grim
 Souls are feeling heavy
 And faith is growing thin
 Fears are getting stronger
 You can feel them on the rise
 Hopelessness got some by the throat you can see it in their eyes
 I said how come
 How come
 Everybody on a shoestring
 Everybody in a hole
 Everybody on an old jet plane crossing their fingers and toes
 Government man spin his politics till they 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 living hell
 I said how come
 How come
 All I see
 Is a child of god
 In misery
 I said how come
 The pistol now as profit
 The bullet some kind of lord and king
 But pain is the only promise that this so called savior is gonna bring
 Love can be a liar
 And justice can be a thief
 And freedom can be an empty cup from which everybody want to drink
 I said how come
 I can't tell
 The free world
 From living hell
 I said how come
 How come
 All i see
 Is a child of god
 In misery
 I said how come
 It's just man killing man
 Killing man
 Killing man
 Killing man
 Killing man
 I don't understand it
 It's just man killing man
