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 their 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, will 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
