Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
There John sits with his hose and bits Leaving out his kit he needs to make his fix But he's not in a private space As passersby pick up their pace looking anywhere but in his face Avoiding his world that's in their way On the sidewalk where John spends his day He's some mother's child in trouble, another mothers child in trouble In his squalor and five years stumble, in his squalor and five years stumble He's some mother's child in trouble, another mothers child in trouble Left out of our gilt edged bubble Now John might be our relation, or of anyone in the nation But our empathy is ration, by our heartless calculation, our heartless calculation Now down the block, you can hear Jane rock As the words come spinning from her head Drowning out what those voices said Telling Jane you've already died That no one missed her no one cried At least no one who still lives inside Jane's some mother's child in trouble, another mother's child in trouble A soul lost in the rubble, another lost soul in the rubble She's some mother's child in trouble, another mother's child in trouble As she shouts and cries and mumbles, as she shouts and cries and mumbles And am I I any different than you, If just talking about It is all that I do It's a crisis, I didn't make it Don't be so self righteous, I don't have to take it It's the same situation, all across the nation But your in front of my place, and I no longer feel safe, So what else can I do but call the cops on you To stay warm and dry Johns on the bus But some rider starts to make a fuss Seems his jumbled cart is in they're way All about the fare he never paid And no one has a kind word to say As Johns spirit turns a bleaker shade of grey He's some mother's child in trouble, another mothers child in trouble In his squalor and five years stumble, in his squalor and five years stumble She's some mother's child in trouble, another mother's child in trouble As she shouts and cries and mumbles, as she shouts and cries and mumbles And am I I any better than you, If just singing about It is all that I do
