The newspaper said a child was killed today 
Done in by a hit-and-run 
I cried inside 
That feeling I hide 
For I thought something could have been done 

A good friend turned born-again today 
Who can say who's to blame 
I cried inside 
That feeling I hide 
But the songs still remain the same 

People keep telling me 
My ideas are too strong 
That I over express them 
And I should suppress them 
And sometimes I could be wrong 

But I feel that there's something wrong in the world 
That only I see 
And though I try my damnedest 
To make others understand it 
The thoughts keep haunting me 

A streetsweeper took his life today 
Another magic moment lost 
I cried inside 
That feeling I hide 
For this value called life at all cost
