What has happened to our town   There's people sleeping on the ground   Cold and lost, they fear the night   Left alone, they'll lose the fight      Hadn't we better reach for more than just a dime   Shouldn't we try to talk that boy out of his crime   Haven't you had it knowing nothings getting solved   Maybe we'd better, better get involved      CHORUS:   We could stop the hurtin' for awhile   We could stop the hurtin' for awhile   If we found a way to reconcile   We could stop the hurtin'      Families livin' in their cars and kids run numbers out of bars   Knowing pride won't pay the bills   Men work jobs beneath their skills   Hadn't we better hand out more than just a line   Shouldn't we try to find solutions with our minds   Haven't you had it knowing nothing's getting solved   Maybe we'd better, better get involved      CHORUS
