Some Kind of Kindness

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie

They say that we can't beat the rap

Just a couple of rats without a hope and both our heads inside a trap

You wash my hands, I'll scratch your back

Because we're so dirty and we need to find

I said, some kind of kindness

Maybe there just ain't no use in trying

Every one of us is born alone and someday soon we will be dying

But don't you ever pay no mind

Because when you lie with me I feel that I

I feel some kind of kindness

You know this is no way for us

Ragged and damned at the heel

And deep down you know

There's gotta be a better life for us

Than drifting like dust through an hourglass

Waiting for our blood to congeal

That's why we're singing...

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie

(Still singing, still singing)

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie

Nobody looks you in the eye

Somebody's always got their fingers in somebody else's pie

We may be cheap, but we ain't free

And we're just fighting for the right to know

To know some kind of kindness

We may be deaf, but we ain't dumb

Two more pariahs of the road without a home and on the run

We may be damned, but we're not done

'Cause the time must surely come when we will find

Maybe some kind of kindness

Yeah, this is no place for us

Stuck like sick monkeys in a zoo

Yeah, life is short

And there's gotta be a better way for us

Than sleeping down under the overpass

Dreaming that our dreams have come true

That's why we're singing...

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie

(Still singing, still singing)

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie

(Still singing)

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie

(Still singing, still singing)

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie
