Wind is in the east
|
Stare at us eyes in wonder
|
Like beggars at a feast
|
We can't even, count the number
|
What you gonna do?
|
Send them table scraps we're leaving
|
One who care are few
|
Most spend there time, with useless meaning
|
|
Dear father,
|
Do you think that it will be alright?
|
Tell me mother,
|
Will we make it through?
|
We make it through the hungry night.
|
|
Somewhere in the west
|
Gold teeth, but sometime is gleaming
|
We know we are the best
|
Even know, the beasts lie screaming
|
We've got power to spare
|
A new clear day
|
Is dawning they say
|
But tell us, don't you dare
|
The piper has a price that we pay
|
|
Dear preacher,
|
Do you think that we'll see the light?
|
Tell me teacher,
|
Well we make it through?
|
We make it through the darkest night.
|
|
Two faces in the south
|
The first one has a look of
|
With fine words in his mouth
|
His heart is black,
|
As ghetto chimneys
|
|
What you gonna do?
|
To hide the shame,
|
Contain their anger.
|
What you gonna say?
|
You walk the line, of constant danger
|
|
Dear brother,
|
You think we'll have to stand and fight?
|
Tell me sister, Will we make it through?
|
We make it through the longest night.
|
|
Dear father,
|
Do you think it's gonna be alright?
|
Tell me teacher,
|
Do you think that we'll see the light?
|
Tell me brother,
|
You think we'll have to stand and fight?
|
Tell me sister,
|
Will we make it through?
|
Make it through the longest night.
