Stand (Bastone & Burnz del Moody Mix)

[Verse 1]

Walk in a corner shop

See a shoplifting cop

See the old lady with a gun

See the hero try to run

Nothing's what it seems, I mean

It's not all dirty, but it's not all clean

There's children paying bills

There's monks buying thrills

There's pride for sale in magazines

There's pills for rent to make you clean

Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother

Woody Guthrie's land can't feed Mother

[Chorus]

Mothers weep, children sleep

So much violence ends in silence

It's a shame there's no one to blame

For all the pain that life brings

If you will just take me, it might just complete me

And together we can make a stand

[Post-Chorus]

You will love me, I will love you

A waitress

[Verse 2]

A waitress brings me lunch

We meet, but do not touch

On TV, D.C. is selling lies

While in the corner, King's dream dies

Go to the counter, pay for me and my friend

A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him

The mayor has no cash

He said he spent it on hookers and hash

On hookers and hash

On hookers and hash

On hookers and hash

On hookers and hash

[Chorus]

Mothers weep, children sleep

So much violence ends in silence

It's a shame there's no one to blame

For all the pain that life brings

If you will just take me, it might just complete me

And together we can make a stand

[Bridge]

You will love me, I will love you

(Go to the counter) You will love me (Pull out some cash)

I will love you (He spent it on hookers and hash)

Hookers and hash

Hookers and hash

Mothers weep

Hookers and hash

[Chorus]

Mothers weep

Hookers and hash

Hookers and hash

[Outro]

You will love me, I will love you
