Stand Lyrics

Stand

drive in a corner shop

see the 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 paying billls

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



(chorus:)

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



a waitress brings me lunch

we meet but do not touch

on t.v. DC's selling lies

while in the corner king's dreams lies

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



(chorus)



you will love me,I will love you

you will love me, I will love you



(chorus x3)
