Children cry

On the street

They don’t get

Enough to eat

 

The street is painted red

The sun is down

The stars are gone

 

Mothers wait

For days on end

Fathers die

Lost in time

 

The street is painted red

The sun is down

The stars are gone

 

War spits the world

In two

Hate is in

Their hearts

 

The street is painted red

The sun is down

The stars are gone

 

Is it good

For you?

Is it good

For me?

 

The street is painted red

The sun is down

The stars are gone

 

Love is a lost illusion

Compassion gone with the stars

Dreams destroyed

Crusted my a booted heal

 

The street is painted red

The sun is down

The stars are gone

 

I don’t know how the world can sleep

It is just not right

To close the door

Turn out the light

 

The street is painted red

The sun is down

The stars are gone

 

It is enough to

Make a man go

Down on

His knees

 

The street is painted red

The sun is down

The stars are gone
