Little Girl

Wake up little girl
Where is your mom?
Where is your home little girl?
Where are you from?

Why are your clothes so bad?
Why aren't you in school?
Where is your dad little girl?
Say he left before you were two

The world should look in your eyes
And see that it's you
Fightin' and hurtin'
And then sayin' there's nothing they can do

Oh wipe your eyes little girl
No don't you cry
The government said they'd help
But we know that they lie

Friends of mine say things never change
Say they never have
This time things have gotta change
'Cause your life can't stay that bad

You're a derelict, they say as they raise their fist
I wish they would realize you didn't ask to be
Ask to be born like this

Yeah this country's so great
We got money to pay for the president's aides
Plain shoes If you look at your feet
You see those you could use

The world should look in your eyes
And see that it's you
Fightin' and hurtin'
And then sayin' there's nothing they can do

Homeless, homeless
The moonlight resting on a midnight lake
We are homeless, homeless
The moonlight resting on a midnight lake

We are homeless, homeless
The moonlight resting on a midnight lake
We are homeless, homeless
The moonlight resting on a midnight lake

We are homeless, homeless
The moonlight resting on a midnight lake
