In the city
There’s a man
Living quietly on the street
Computer takes your job
And there isn’t much to eat

In the daycare plays a child
Spend’s another evening alone
Mama’s off with her trainer
Daddy’s on the plane to Rome

In a bar sits an old woman
Sipping her lunchtime gin
A family friend had taught her
To drink away what’s within

Chorus
Somewhere there’s a restaurant
Where enemies will have dinner
Talk of all there problems
And listen to one another
Find new ways to end hunger
Not new ways to kill each other
Read your menus now, boys
It may hold the answers

In the schoolroom there’s a teacher
Standing tall against the storm
Attention spans are shorter
And television is the norm

By a curb a cop lays dying
He bleeds from deep within
No baseball heroes or love
For the kid who just shot him

Gave the poor man on the corner
A five spot and some change
To make myself feel better
But did I ease his pain

Chorus
