Another simple mind   Working 9 to 5   Seven days a week   Barely making ends meet      Working paycheck to paycheck   Just to pay the rent   Money saved   Is already money spent      Facing a fallen nation   Where poverty is on the rise   Violence and racial hatred   Make way to a million lies      Too many kids are slayed   To lie in early graves   Put down by gun shots   And outlined in white chalk      The nation turns its back   And it don't see   They're wiping away   All their bad memories      Facing a fallen nation   Where poverty is on the rise   Violence and racial hatred   Make way to a million lies      Another battered mom   And we let this go on   When will see   Something is very wrong?      But we close our eyes   And we all pretend   That somehow all of this   All of this will just end      Facing a fallen nation   Where poverty is on the rise   Violence and racial hatred   Make way to a million lies
