People on the street now

Faces long and grim

Souls are feeling heavy

And faith is growing thin

Fears are getting stronger

You can Feel them on the rise

Hopelessness got some by the throat you can see it in their

eyes

I said how come

How come

Everybody on a shoestring

Everybody in a hole

Everybody crossing their fingers and toes

Government man spin his politics till he got you pinned

Everybody trying to reach out to each other

But they don't know where to begin

I said how come

I can't tell

the free world

from living hell

I said how come

How come

all I see

is a child of god

in misery

I said how come the pistol now as profit

The bullet some kind of lord and king

But pain is the only promise that this so called savior is going

to bring

Love can be a liar

And justice can be a thief

And freedom can be an empty cup from which everybody want to

drink

I said how come

I can't tell

the free world

from living hell

I said how come

How come

all i see

is a child of god

in misery

I said how come

Its just man killing man

Killing man

Killing man

Killing man

Killing man

I don't understand

Its just man killing man
